Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⁽ has the Unicode code point U+207D. 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+207D to binary:
00100000 01111101. 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 10000001 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+207D, known as the SUPERSCRIPT LEFT PARENTHESIS, is a specialized typographic symbol used in digital text for mathematical, scientific, and technical communication. Its primary role lies in denoting the beginning of a superscripted expression or equation within a mathematical context, typically placed above and to the left of the content it encloses. This character plays a crucial part in ensuring the accuracy and clarity of complex expressions, particularly those involving exponents, subscripts, and other superscript elements. While its usage may be less common in everyday text, it remains an essential tool for professionals and scholars working within specialized fields such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science.
