Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌍ has the Unicode code point U+230D. 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+230D to binary:
00100011 00001101. 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 10001100 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+230D, also known as BOTTOM LEFT CROP, is a typographical symbol that serves an important role in digital text formatting. This character is typically employed to indicate the bottom left corner of a cropped area or region within a text document. It is particularly useful when dealing with images or diagrams where portions need to be removed or hidden due to space constraints or to draw attention to specific parts of the content. While it does not have any direct linguistic significance, its use in digital text enhances readability and ensures effective communication of complex visual information. In terms of technical context, U+230D is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block of the Unicode Standard, which includes a variety of symbols used to represent different types of technical elements, ensuring consistency across various platforms and devices.
