Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌎ has the Unicode code point U+230E. 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+230E to binary:
00100011 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+230E, known as the "TOP RIGHT CROP", is a typographic symbol used in digital text to indicate a vertical crop or truncation. It is typically employed in layout design and typesetting to suggest that a section of text or image has been cropped from the top right corner. Although not commonly seen in everyday writing, the TOP RIGHT CROP symbol plays an important role in communication design, helping convey the idea of modification or reduction without using words. Its use is largely technical and can be found across various applications including website design, graphic design, and desktop publishing. However, it may also be used to signify a specific action or process, such as cropping an image within an image editing software or representing a particular move in a strategy game. Despite its relatively niche usage, the TOP RIGHT CROP symbol is an essential tool for designers who need to effectively communicate these actions and processes in digital text.
