Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏛ has the Unicode code point U+23DB. 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+23DB to binary:
00100011 11011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+23DB is designated as the "FUSE" symbol (⤏). It is primarily used to represent a fused script in digital text formats, particularly in typography and linguistics. A fused script refers to a writing system where characters are joined together, such as in the Arabic or Devanagari scripts. The character U+23DB serves as an important marker in digital documents, helping to convey information about these complex writing systems accurately and efficiently. In addition to its role in typography, this symbol is also used in various technical applications, including software programming and data storage, where it may signify a specific value or state. Due to its unique representation of fused scripts, the U+23DB character plays a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and linguistic diversity across digital platforms.
