Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ‵ has the Unicode code point U+2035. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2035 to binary:
00100000 00110101. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10000000 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2035, known as the Reversed Prime (‥), serves a specific role within digital typography and text encoding systems. It is primarily used to represent an upside-down prime symbol, which visually resembles the number one with a small circle at its center. The character's usage is relatively limited compared to more commonly encountered symbols and glyphs. However, it may be employed in certain contexts to denote reversed or mirrored mathematical expressions, where traditional prime notation might be ambiguous or inappropriate. Although the Reversed Prime symbol does not have significant cultural, linguistic, or technical implications, it remains an important tool for accurately conveying specific mathematical concepts and relationships within digital text.
