Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑆ has the Unicode code point U+2446. 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+2446 to binary:
00100100 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2446, designated as "OCR BRANCH BANK IDENTIFICATION," primarily serves a functional role within digital text processing systems. It is predominantly utilized in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applications and branch banking identification systems. In these contexts, the character acts as an identifier or marker to facilitate accurate interpretation of digitized documents or forms by OCR software. Although it may not have significant cultural, linguistic, or technical relevance outside of its specific applications, U+2446 is integral to the efficient operation and data management within the branch banking sector and digital text processing industry.
