Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℧ has the Unicode code point U+2127. 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+2127 to binary:
00100001 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2127, known as the Inverted Ohm Sign, is a typographical symbol that plays a significant role in digital text. This special character is often used to represent an inversion or reversal of a concept or idea, particularly within mathematical and scientific contexts. Its use can be traced back to its creation as a part of the Unicode character set, which was designed to provide a unique code for every character in the languages of the world, allowing for more efficient and accurate communication over digital platforms. The Inverted Ohm Sign's unique shape and position within the Unicode set make it an essential tool for those working in fields that require precise expression of concepts and ideas. It is particularly notable for its role in electrical engineering, where it can be used to signify the reversal or inversion of an ohmic value, a concept that is crucial in understanding and manipulating electrical circuits and systems.
