Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⁏ has the Unicode code point U+204F. 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+204F to binary:
00100000 01001111. 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 10000001 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+204F, also known as the Reversed Semicolon (͘), is a typographical symbol that serves a specific role in digital text. Primarily used to represent a semicolon with its legs reversed, this character has found application in programming languages and markup languages where it may signify an alternative representation of a standard semicolon or hold a particular meaning within the context of the language. The Reversed Semicolon is distinct for its unique appearance, featuring two arcs connected by a vertical line, giving the impression of a flipped over traditional semicolon. Though it does not have any notable cultural or linguistic significance, it remains an important character in typography due to its specific function within certain digital text applications and languages.
