Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸤ has the Unicode code point U+2E24. 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+2E24 to binary:
00101110 00100100. 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 10111000 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2E24 is known as the Bottom Left Half Bracket. It primarily serves a role in digital typography for various programming languages, markup languages such as XML, and other text processing systems. Its most common usage is to enclose or delimit a segment of text or code, often indicating an array or a pairing where one item has been left out. This can be important in algorithms or functions that use pairing or sequence structures. While it may not have a specific cultural context, its use in linguistic or technical contexts is vital for clarity and precision in text and code presentation. This ensures that the text is well-structured, readable, and can be easily parsed by both human readers and software systems.
