Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎡ has the Unicode code point U+23A1. 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+23A1 to binary:
00100011 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+23A1, known as the Left Square Bracket Upper Corner, primarily serves a technical purpose in digital text. It is often used in programming languages and markup languages such as XML to denote the beginning of a section or block that may contain additional content. While it may not have a prominent role in cultural or linguistic contexts, its usage is essential for creating structured documents and ensuring accurate parsing by software applications. The Left Square Bracket Upper Corner is an indispensable tool for developers and digital text specialists who require precise control over the layout and hierarchy of their content.
