Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏝ has the Unicode code point U+23DD. 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+23DD to binary:
00100011 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+23DD is known as the BOTTOM PARENTHESIS, which is a typographical symbol often used in digital text for various purposes. This character serves as an enclosure to indicate the start or end of a section of text that should be considered separately from the surrounding content. It is not commonly used in everyday writing, but rather in specialized fields like mathematics, computer programming, and technical documentation, where precise delineation of information is crucial. Its primary role is to visually group elements or indicate sections for logical separation, without affecting the flow of text. The BOTTOM PARENTHESIS character is not widely recognized for any cultural, linguistic, or historical significance, but its presence in digital content can contribute to clearer communication and understanding for readers who are familiar with this symbol's usage.
