Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⅎ has the Unicode code point U+2132. 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+2132 to binary:
00100001 00110010
. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2132, known as the "TURNED CAPITAL F", is a lesser-known typographical symbol that represents an inverted capital letter F. In digital text, this character is typically used to signify a specific mathematical operation, namely the f-turn or f-division, which denotes division by the golden ratio (approximately 1.6180339887). This symbol holds significance in mathematical and technical contexts due to its association with the golden ratio, which is prevalent in various areas of mathematics, art, architecture, and nature. Although not widely used in everyday text, the TURNED CAPITAL F plays a niche role in these specialized fields where the concept of the golden ratio and related mathematical operations are pertinent.
