Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩥ has the Unicode code point U+2A65. 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+2A65 to binary:
00101010 01100101
. 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 10101001 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+2A65, also known as the "Z NOTATION RANGE ANTIRESTRICTION" symbol, plays a crucial role in digital text by signifying an exemption or exception within specified ranges of characters. This character is particularly useful in programming languages and markup systems where ranges of characters are defined for various purposes such as encoding, formatting, or classification. Its use allows developers to designate a specific segment of the Unicode Standard that should not be subjected to certain restrictions, thereby providing greater flexibility and control over text processing. While U+2A65 does not have any direct association with cultural, linguistic, or artistic contexts, its utility in digital text handling highlights the versatility and adaptability of the Unicode Standard in addressing diverse requirements across different platforms and applications.
