Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎂ has the Unicode code point U+2382. 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+2382 to binary:
00100011 10000010. 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 10001110 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2382, known as the DISCONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SYMBOL, is a typographic element that serves a distinct purpose in digital text. It is commonly employed to create a line that is broken or disrupted at regular intervals, giving an appearance of dotted or dashed underlining. This character can be particularly useful for conveying the concept of interruption, separation, or division within the context of a text. Its use may be found in areas such as mathematical notation, computer programming, and technical documentation, where visual cues are vital for understanding complex concepts. The DISCONTINUOUS UNDERLINE SYMBOL does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with it; its primary role is to offer a versatile tool for digital typographers and designers.
