Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯥ has the Unicode code point U+2BE5. 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+2BE5 to binary:
00101011 11100101. 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 10101111 10100101

Description
U+2BE5, known as ADMETOS, is a rare character in the Unicode standard, specifically classified under Miscellaneous Technical (UTF-16) characters. As an expert in typography and Unicode, it's essential to note that this symbol doesn't have any typical usage or role in digital text. It doesn't belong to any particular language, culture, or linguistic context. Although ADMETOS might seem like a decorative or artistic character, its primary purpose is technical - to represent an unassigned code point in certain encoding schemes. While it may not have a significant presence in modern typography or digital text, understanding the full scope of Unicode characters, even those with limited usage, is crucial for maintaining accurate and comprehensive communication across different platforms and languages.
