Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌵ has the Unicode code point U+2335. 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+2335 to binary:
00100011 00110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2335 represents the "COUNTERSINK" symbol. This typographical glyph is primarily used in engineering and construction documentation to denote a countersink, which is an operation that creates a conical depression on the edge of a hole, typically for the purpose of preparing a surface for the insertion or installation of a screw or other fastener. In digital text, the COUNTERSINK character serves to communicate this specific operation or feature in technical contexts, such as engineering drawings, design schematics, and manufacturing processes. While its usage may be limited by its specialized nature, the COUNTERSINK character is essential for clear communication within these niche industries.
