Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌴ has the Unicode code point U+2334. 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+2334 to binary:
00100011 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2334, known as the Counterbore, is a typographic symbol used primarily in digital text for typesetting purposes. It serves to indicate where a hole is to be drilled or bored into a surface, such as in woodworking or metalwork, and can also be used in technical drawings and diagrams. While not widely utilized in everyday language, it plays a significant role in the design and creation of physical objects. The Counterbore symbol is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block of Unicode, which comprises various symbols used for engineering, manufacturing, and other technical applications.
