Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎥ has the Unicode code point U+23A5. 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+23A5 to binary:
00100011 10100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+23A5, known as the RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET EXTENSION, serves a vital role in digital text by acting as an extension to the standard right square bracket (U+007D). It is primarily used to enclose or separate sections of text within other enclosures, such as parentheses or curly braces. This allows for more complex and intricate typographical structures in various programming languages, mathematical equations, and technical documents. While the RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET EXTENSION is not widely used in everyday text, it holds significant importance in specialized fields like computer science, engineering, and data analysis. Its unique functionality ensures clearer communication of ideas and facilitates a more precise representation of complex concepts.
