Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫝ has the Unicode code point U+2ADD. 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+2ADD to binary:
00101010 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2ADD is known as NONFORKING. It holds a unique position in the realm of typography and digital text. Its typical usage lies primarily in the domain of computer programming, specifically in the encoding and decoding of text data. Here, it plays a critical role in ensuring that the text does not accidentally fork or split into separate branches during the process of encoding or transmission. This is particularly important in situations where the integrity of the text content needs to be preserved, such as in software applications or when dealing with multi-byte character encodings. Although U+2ADD may not have a direct correlation with any specific cultural or linguistic context, it serves as an essential tool for maintaining the stability and cohesion of digital texts across various platforms and programming languages. Overall, U+2ADD is a vital character in the world of Unicode, contributing to the seamless functioning of text data in digital environments.
