Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑃ has the Unicode code point U+2443. 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+2443 to binary:
00100100 01000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2443, known as the "OCR Inverted Fork", serves a specific purpose within the realm of typography and digital text. It is primarily used for optical character recognition (OCR) applications to distinguish between similar-looking characters in non-Latin scripts, such as Japanese or Chinese. This unique symbol assists OCR software systems in identifying and correctly interpreting the intended characters during digitization processes, thus ensuring greater accuracy in text conversion. The character's significance lies in its role as a typographical tool that enhances the efficiency of automated text recognition systems, which are widely employed across various industries for streamlining documentation management and data extraction tasks.
