Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟊ has the Unicode code point U+27CA. 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+27CA to binary:
00100111 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+27CA is the Unicode code point for the VERTICAL BAR WITH HORIZONTAL STROKE character, commonly used in digital text to represent a vertical line with a horizontal stroke through it. This unique typographical symbol is primarily employed to indicate an interruption or pause in a sequence of elements, such as in bullet lists or vertical dividers. While its usage may be less common compared to more familiar symbols like the vertical bar (|) or pipe, the VERTICAL BAR WITH HORIZONTAL STROKE still holds significance in certain contexts, particularly within niche programming languages and specific design applications.
