Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ∌ has the Unicode code point U+220C. 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+220C to binary:
00100010 00001100. 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 10001000 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+220C, represented as "ℌ", is known as the Blackboard Bold Latin Capital Letter S without Descender. It is primarily used in typography for mathematical notation or other technical contexts where a bold capital S without a descender is needed. This character was added to Unicode version 3.1.0 in 2001, and it is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block. The Blackboard Bold Latin Capital Letter S without Descender is typically used in digital text for its distinctive appearance in mathematical expressions, as it provides a clear distinction from the regular capital S and other similar characters.
