Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏟ has the Unicode code point U+23DF. 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+23DF to binary:
00100011 11011111. 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 10001111 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+23DF, also known as the Bottom Curly Bracket, serves a specific role in digital text formatting. This character is commonly used in programming languages and mathematical expressions to denote the closing of a block or a set of data. In the context of computer languages such as JavaScript or Python, it helps close structures like functions, loops, conditional statements, and classes. Mathematically, it can be employed to signify the closure of sequences and sets. Despite its relatively niche usage, this symbol holds significant importance in programming and mathematical environments for the accurate delineation of coding blocks and data sets.
