Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯒ has the Unicode code point U+2BD2. 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+2BD2 to binary:
00101011 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2BD2 represents the "GROUP MARK" (𝚽). It is a typographic symbol that serves as an indicator for grouping or separating elements in digital text, particularly in mathematical expressions and formulae. The Group Mark is utilized to demarcate different sections or groups within complex equations, ensuring clarity and legibility. Its primary function is to assist readers in easily distinguishing between distinct components of a textual or numerical expression. While the Group Mark is not commonly used outside of specialized fields like mathematics and computer science, it plays an essential role in maintaining accuracy and precision within these disciplines.
