Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌰ has the Unicode code point U+2330. 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+2330 to binary:
00100011 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2330, known as TOTAL RUNOUT, is a typographical symbol primarily used to represent the end of a reel or roll of material in various digital text applications. This symbol holds significance in industries such as printing and packaging, where it helps maintain accuracy during production processes by indicating that a reel has reached its end. In this context, TOTAL RUNOUT serves as a visual cue for operators to replace the empty reel with a new one to ensure smooth workflow. While U+2330 may not be widely used in everyday digital communication, it plays an essential role in certain professional environments, emphasizing its importance in specific technical and industry-related contexts.
