Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℷ has the Unicode code point U+2137. 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+2137 to binary:
00100001 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+2137 GIMEL SYMBOL is a typographical character that holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. In digital text, it is primarily used in the context of typography and design, where it serves as an alternative representation of the Hebrew letter "Gimel." Historically, the Gimel Symbol has been employed to represent various concepts, including numeric values, geographical locations, and even the Jewish festival of Purim. In modern usage, the character is often incorporated into designs and layouts for its aesthetic appeal and unique form, which combines elements of both Hebrew script and geometric abstraction.
