Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⁾ has the Unicode code point U+207E. 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+207E to binary:
00100000 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+207E, known as the Superscript Right Parenthesis (‘⪐’), holds a significant role in digital text formatting. It is predominantly used to denote right parentheses that are superscripted in mathematical equations or linguistic expressions where superscripting is necessary for correct representation of ideas or concepts. Its usage in cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts may vary depending on the nature of the text, and while its appearance might seem minor, it often contributes to the clarity and precision of the content. The Superscript Right Parenthesis is a vital character in ensuring accurate and unambiguous communication within digital texts, especially in scientific documentation, mathematical formulas, or programming code.
