Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ↂ has the Unicode code point U+2182. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2182 to binary:
00100001 10000010
. 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 10000010

Description
U+2182 is a unique character in the Unicode system, representing the Roman numeral ten thousand. Its primary role in digital text is to provide a visual representation of this specific value in a historical numeral system. The use of Roman numerals has cultural significance and can be found in various contexts such as architecture, art, and literature. However, in modern digital communication, U+2182 is less commonly used due to the prevalence of Arabic numerals for numerical values. Despite its limited usage, it remains an important character for those studying typography, history, or interested in preserving and understanding ancient Roman culture.
