Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℛ has the Unicode code point U+211B. 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+211B to binary:
00100001 00011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+211B is known as the "SCRIPT CAPITAL R." In digital text, this symbol is used to represent the uppercase form of the cursive capital letter 'R' in scripts that use a distinct cursive style. While its usage may be less common in contemporary typography, it remains an important character for maintaining fidelity to original texts, such as historical documents or literary works, where this particular letterform is significant. The SCRIPT CAPITAL R has a unique role in Unicode, where it helps to preserve the visual and stylistic characteristics of letters from various scripts and languages. It serves as an essential tool for digital typographers, linguists, and historians who study and work with these diverse forms of written expression.
