Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⅎ has the Unicode code point U+214E. 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+214E to binary:
00100001 01001110. 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 10000101 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+214E, known as the "TURNED SMALL F", is a typographical symbol used primarily for mathematical expressions and certain text applications in digital text. This character is not commonly used in everyday language but holds significant value within specific contexts, such as in formal mathematical notation or computer programming. The TURNED SMALL F represents the square root of a number when used in mathematics. Its typical role is to signify an operation rather than provide direct meaning like words do. It's essential for accurate expression of mathematical ideas and formulas, particularly in digital environments where precise representation is crucial. Despite its relatively low profile in everyday language, the TURNED SMALL F carries importance within specialized areas. Its use can be seen often in mathematical equations, computer programming (particularly languages such as LaTeX), and scientific writing. In these fields, its clarity and precision make it indispensable for accurate communication of complex ideas and structures. In summary, while the TURNED SMALL F might not enjoy widespread recognition or usage in everyday language, it's a vital tool within specific cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. Its significance lies in its ability to accurately express complex mathematical concepts and operations in digital text, making it an important character in certain specialized fields.
