Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎞ has the Unicode code point U+239E. 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+239E to binary:
00100011 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+239E, known as the Right Parenthesis Upper Hook (RPWH), serves a distinct function in digital text. It is often utilized to indicate the right-hand side of a parenthetical expression, maintaining symmetry with its left counterpart, the Left Parenthesis Lower Hook (LPLH). Despite its name, RPWH does not have an upper or lower orientation, as it appears uniformly in both orientations. The RPWH plays a crucial role in mathematical expressions and computer programming where it delineates segments of code and functions to be executed. It has no cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its functional role. Therefore, RPWH is a vital yet often overlooked character in the vast landscape of Unicode characters, facilitating clear communication and understanding in digital text.
