Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ‴ has the Unicode code point U+2034. 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+2034 to binary:
00100000 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2034, also known as the TRIPLE PRIME symbol, holds a unique place in typography and digital text representation. This non-spacing mark is typically employed to denote multiplication by three in mathematical expressions, offering an alternative to the more commonly used superscripted numeral '3'. Its inclusion in Unicode reflects its importance in conveying quantitative information accurately across various languages and platforms. Although not as widely recognized as other symbols, the TRIPLE PRIME holds significance in fields that demand precision in numerical representation, such as engineering, physics, and computer science.
