Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌟ has the Unicode code point U+231F. 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+231F to binary:
00100011 00011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+231F is known as the "Bottom Right Corner" (⊿). This typographical symbol holds a significant role in digital text, especially in mathematical equations and diagrams. In such contexts, it serves to represent the bottom right corner of a square or rectangle, often used in geometric constructs and spatial analysis. Its usage is prominent in computer science, engineering, and mathematics, where precise visualization of geometric shapes is crucial for understanding complex concepts. Despite its specialized use, U+231F's significance transcends linguistic boundaries due to the universality of Unicode encoding.
