Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦆ has the Unicode code point U+2986. 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+2986 to binary:
00101001 10000110. 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 10100110 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2986, known as the Right White Parenthesis, is a less commonly used symbol that has its roots in typography and digital text representation. Its primary role lies in the formatting of mathematical expressions and computer code, where it is often employed to delimit or group components of an expression, similar to how parentheses are used in written language. The Right White Parenthesis is particularly useful when parentheses of the same type are used consecutively in an expression, as it differentiates the groups of elements clearly and ensures that they are evaluated in the correct order. While this character may not be as widely recognized or used as other common symbols, it serves a vital purpose in specialized contexts where precise formatting and clarity of content are essential, such as in computer programming, mathematical notation, and technical writing.
