Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫦ has the Unicode code point U+2AE6. 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+2AE6 to binary:
00101010 11100110. 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 10101011 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+2AE6, known as the "Long Dash from Left Member of Double Vertical," is a typographical symbol that plays a significant role in digital text representation. This glyph represents the left side of a double vertical line often used to denote a pause or an interruption in writing. In digital communication, it is commonly employed in programming languages and markup languages like HTML for formatting purposes, such as creating separators between sections of code or text. Although not as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, U+2AE6 is essential in specific contexts where precise line separation and formatting are required, especially in coding and technical documents.
