Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦇ has the Unicode code point U+2987. 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+2987 to binary:
00101001 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Z NOTATION LEFT IMAGE BRACKET character (U+2987) plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of typography and mathematical notation. This Unicode character is used to denote an open image bracket or parenthesis in a vertical arrangement, commonly utilized in linear notation systems such as Z-notation for expressing arithmetic expressions. It is especially useful in computer algebra systems, programming languages, and software that support typographic expressions. In its typical usage, the Z NOTATION LEFT IMAGE BRACKET serves to enclose an expression or term, visually illustrating the hierarchical relationships between elements within a mathematical or logical statement. While it may not have a direct cultural or linguistic context, the character's precise representation of image brackets in digital text contributes significantly to clarity and efficiency in various technical fields.
