Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎅ has the Unicode code point U+2385. 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+2385 to binary:
00100011 10000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2385 represents the "WHITE SQUARE WITH CENTRE VERTICAL LINE". This symbol is typically used in digital text to represent a vertical partition within a larger square or rectangular area. It can be found in various software applications and markup languages, often for use in diagrams, flowcharts, and layout designs where visual separation of elements is required. The character does not hold any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its role as a delimiter within digital media. In typography, it can be useful for organizing information and improving readability in certain layouts or designs.
