Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ↁ has the Unicode code point U+2181. 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+2181 to binary:
00100001 10000001. 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 10000110 10000001

Description
U+2181 is a Unicode character representing the Roman numeral for five thousand, known as "V", derived from the Latin alphabet. In digital text, this symbol is often used to denote large quantities or numerical values in documents and publications related to history, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. The Roman numeral system was widely used in ancient civilizations, including Rome, where it served as a means of counting and recording time, numbers, and other quantifiable data. Today, U+2181 is primarily employed for its aesthetic value, often seen in typography, branding, or historical texts to convey a classical or antique feel. It holds significance in various cultural contexts, particularly those with ties to Roman history, and continues to be an important symbol of numeral representation in the digital world.
