Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟆ has the Unicode code point U+27C6. 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+27C6 to binary:
00100111 11000110
. 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 10011111 10000110

Description
U+27C6, known as the Right S-Shaped Bag Delimiter, is a unique character often utilized in digital typography. This symbol primarily serves as a delimiter, segregating distinct sections of text or denoting a specific area within a document. The use of this character can be found predominantly in computer programming and coding environments where it plays a crucial role in structuring and organizing the text for clearer understanding and ease of navigation. While its usage is not widespread outside of technical fields, it remains an important tool for those who need to delimit content in specific ways, particularly in Unicode-supported documents.
