Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯻ has the Unicode code point U+2BFB. 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+2BFB to binary:
00101011 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+2BFB, known as the SEPARATED SYMBOL, primarily serves a functional role in digital text by representing a specific typographical symbol used in various languages and scripts around the world. It is utilized to denote a separated or isolated syllable within a word or phrase, often appearing in languages that use a phonetic writing system where each character represents a single sound unit. In certain cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, the SEPARATED SYMBOL plays a crucial role in preserving the original pronunciation and meaning of words when transcribed into digital text formats. While its usage may not be as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, the SEPARATED SYMBOL remains an essential tool for maintaining linguistic accuracy across various scripts and languages.
