Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℐ has the Unicode code point U+2110. 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+2110 to binary:
00100001 00010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2110, known as the SCRIPT CAPITAL I, primarily serves a typographical role in digital text. It is often employed for typesetting purposes, particularly in formal documents or historical texts that require an emphasis on traditional or calligraphic styles of writing. The SCRIPT CAPITAL I represents the uppercase form of the letter 'I' in script-based typefaces, which are designed to mimic handwriting or other forms of manual text creation. This character is not commonly used in everyday digital communication due to its specialized nature and potential for confusion with the regular uppercase 'I'. However, it can be beneficial in specific contexts, such as when distinguishing between similar-looking characters or when emphasizing a particular stylistic choice. Overall, U+2110 contributes to the diversity of typographic expression in digital text while preserving the rich cultural and linguistic history of written communication.
