Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎍ has the Unicode code point U+238D. 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+238D to binary:
00100011 10001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+238D, known as the MONOSTABLE SYMBOL, is a typographical entity that serves an essential role in digital text representation. Primarily used for creating customized symbols and characters not found in standard font sets, this monostable character is particularly useful in design fields such as graphic arts, web development, and software engineering where unique or niche symbols are required to convey specific ideas, emotions, or cultural elements. Although it does not have a distinct cultural or linguistic context like other Unicode characters, its versatility allows for its adaptation into various cultural representations. The MONOSTABLE SYMBOL is a valuable tool in the creation of diverse typographic experiences and visual communication on digital platforms.
