Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℌ has the Unicode code point U+210C. 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+210C to binary:
00100001 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+210C, known as the Black Letter Capital H, is a typographic representation that holds historical significance and relevance in digital text. It is primarily used to denote the letter 'H' in the traditional Gothic or Fraktur script, which originated in Germany during the late Middle Ages. In digital contexts, the use of this character can serve both a functional and an aesthetic purpose. Functionally, it allows for accurate transcription and representation of historical documents or texts that utilize the Gothic script. Aesthetically, it can contribute to the design and visual appeal of typography in modern digital media, particularly in projects with a vintage or historical theme. While its usage may be less common today, the Black Letter Capital H remains an important character for maintaining the integrity and authenticity of texts that require the Gothic script's distinct style.
