Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟯ has the Unicode code point U+27EF. 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+27EF to binary:
00100111 11101111. 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 10011111 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+27EF, known as the Mathematical Right Flattened Parenthesis, is a typographical symbol primarily used in mathematical expressions to denote right flattened parentheses. This symbol plays a crucial role in digital text by providing a visual representation of the right half of a pair of flattened parentheses, which are employed in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering to denote specific operations or groupings within complex expressions. The U+27EF character is part of the broader Unicode 12.0 standard, released in October 2018, and it helps maintain consistency and clarity in digital text across different platforms and devices. Although this symbol does not have a direct cultural or linguistic context, its precise usage in mathematical and technical domains highlights the importance of accurate representation and formatting for effective communication.
