Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎒ has the Unicode code point U+2392. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2392 to binary:
00100011 10010010
. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2392, known as the PASSIVE-PULL-UP-OUTPUT SYMBOL, is a specialized typographic glyph that holds significant importance in the realm of digital text. Its primary function lies in representing a specific command or action within technical documentation and programming languages. In these contexts, the symbol serves to depict a passive pull-up output process, which involves transferring data from memory storage to an output device, such as a printer or display screen, while maintaining its original state without any modifications. Although U+2392 does not possess any direct cultural or linguistic implications, it remains a vital component in various technical fields due to its ability to clearly convey complex processes and actions in digital text. The symbol's presence can be found across programming languages, documentation, and other specialized materials, where its accurate representation of the passive pull-up output process is crucial for maintaining clarity and avoiding miscommunication.
