Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℵ has the Unicode code point U+2135. 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+2135 to binary:
00100001 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 10000100 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2135 is known as the ALEF SYMBOL. It is a typographical representation primarily used in digital text for its aesthetic appeal rather than for any specific linguistic function. The ALEF SYMBOL is often utilized in logos, branding, and design work due to its unique, artistic appearance, which resembles an elongated "A" with a curved tail. It is not associated with any particular culture or language, but its abstract form allows it to be easily adapted for various purposes across multiple contexts. Despite its lack of linguistic significance, the ALEF SYMBOL has found a niche in modern typography and design due to its distinctive look and versatility.
