Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯰ has the Unicode code point U+2BF0. 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+2BF0 to binary:
00101011 11110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2BF0, also known as the Eris Form One, serves a specific role in digital typography and text formatting. This unique symbol is primarily used to represent a particular glyph or form in mathematical or scientific documents, often in the context of computer-aided design (CAD) software or technical manuals. The Eris Form One is typically employed to convey precise measurements, dimensions, or layout specifications, particularly within engineering or architectural disciplines. As part of the Unicode Standard, it ensures consistent encoding and representation across various platforms and programming languages, promoting cross-platform readability and accurate data transmission. While it may not be as widely recognized as other common symbols, its significance lies in its specialized use and contribution to the precision of technical communication.
