Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ◴ has the Unicode code point U+25F4. 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+25F4 to binary:
00100101 11110100. 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 10010111 10110100

Description
U+25F4, or the White Circle with Upper Left Quadrant character, is an important symbol in the realm of typography and Unicode representation. In digital text, it serves a distinct function as part of a family of characters known as "quarter circles," which include the U+25A0 (Black Circle) and various other circle-related symbols. These quarter circles are typically used to represent sections or portions of a full circle in digital layouts, diagrams, or flowcharts, where precise depiction of area or segmentation is necessary. The U+25F4 character is specifically designed to illustrate the upper left quadrant of a full circle, making it a vital tool for graphic designers, content creators, and programmers who need to create visual representations of sections or fractions within digital text. Its precise role in these contexts highlights its importance as an essential typographic symbol for accurate representation in design and information dissemination.
