Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎫ has the Unicode code point U+23AB. 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+23AB to binary:
00100011 10101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+23AB, known as the Right Curly Bracket Upper Hook, is a specialized symbol often used in computer programming and digital text. Its primary role is to indicate the beginning of a group or a section of code that should be treated as a single entity. This character is particularly useful in mathematical expressions, where it can enclose a set of variables, operations, or functions. Although this character isn't widely used in everyday language, it holds significance in programming languages like C++ and Perl due to its ability to create a scope for variables. It is part of the 'Miscellaneous Technical' category in Unicode, which includes various symbols used in technology and computing.
