Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎟ has the Unicode code point U+239F. 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+239F to binary:
00100011 10011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+239F, known as the Right Parenthesis Extension, is a typographical symbol primarily used to extend the right parenthesis (U+0029) in digital text. This character is rarely seen in everyday use but can be encountered in specific programming languages or mathematical notations where it serves as an essential element. Although the symbol does not carry any cultural, linguistic, or technical significance by itself, it plays a crucial role in maintaining consistency and readability in certain contexts. In programming, it may be utilized to define right parentheses in a way that prevents syntax errors or misinterpretation. While its usage is relatively limited, the Right Parenthesis Extension remains an important tool for developers and mathematicians who require specific formatting options in their work.
