Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎎ has the Unicode code point U+238E. 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+238E to binary:
00100011 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+238E represents the Hysteresis Symbol (◊). This symbol is primarily used in mathematical expressions, scientific equations, and technical documents to indicate hysteresis, a phenomenon where the state of a system depends on its history. Hysteresis is commonly observed in magnetic and electrical systems, where the response of a system can be different when it returns to an equilibrium state from a lower or higher initial state. The Hysteresis Symbol typically precedes equations or formulas that describe hysteretic behavior. It plays a crucial role in physics, engineering, and other scientific disciplines to visually convey this concept and enhance the readability of technical content.
