Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎐ has the Unicode code point U+2390. 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+2390 to binary:
00100011 10010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2390, known as the Open-Circuit Output L-Type Symbol, is a specialized symbol used in digital text to represent an open circuit output configuration. This glyph plays a crucial role in electrical engineering and electronics documentation, where it signifies a specific kind of output connection in which there is no electrical continuity or path for current flow between components. The Open-Circuit Output L-Type Symbol is particularly useful for illustrating schematic diagrams, where clear visual communication of circuit layout and functionality is essential. Its use is not confined to any single language or culture but serves as a universally understood shorthand within the technical community. In this context, it helps engineers and technicians quickly comprehend complex electrical circuits, facilitating accurate design, troubleshooting, and maintenance processes.
