Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑄ has the Unicode code point U+2444. 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+2444 to binary:
00100100 01000100. 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 10010001 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+2444, known as OCR BELT BUCKLE, is an alphanumeric symbol typically utilized in digital text for various applications. Primarily, it serves as a character in the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) font block elements group, which comprises symbols commonly encountered in document imaging and machine-readable formats. These characters assist in accurately interpreting and processing scanned or imaged documents that may include non-standard alphanumeric symbols or pictographs. In this context, U+2444 represents a belt buckle, an everyday item with no specific cultural or linguistic connotation. Its inclusion in the OCR font block helps ensure precise interpretation of text data derived from sources such as passports, driver's licenses, or other official documents that may incorporate pictorial elements for enhanced visual identification.
