Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℆ has the Unicode code point U+2106. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2106 to binary:
00100001 00000110
. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2106, CADA UNA, is a specialized symbol primarily utilized in digital typography for its unique role in representing the concept of 'one by one' or 'each individually.' It is often employed in technical documentation or mathematical expressions to denote individual units or components within a sequence. Although not as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, CADA UNA holds significance in specific cultural and linguistic contexts where precision in communication is essential. By accurately portraying the idea of singularity or distinctness, this character contributes to clarity and reduces potential misinterpretation in digital text across various industries such as science, technology, and programming.
