Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌉ has the Unicode code point U+2309. 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+2309 to binary:
00100011 00001001. 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 10001100 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2309, also known as RIGHT CEILING, is a symbol typically employed in mathematical expressions to denote the ceiling function. In digital text, this character represents the smallest integer greater than or equal to a given value. Its primary application lies in computer programming and engineering fields, where it helps determine the upper bound of a range, particularly when dealing with floating-point numbers. Although not widely used in everyday language, the RIGHT CEILING symbol serves as an essential tool for developers, researchers, and mathematicians who require precise calculations in their work.
