Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸥ has the Unicode code point U+2E25. 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+2E25 to binary:
00101110 00100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+2E25, known as the Bottom Right Half Bracket, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text to denote a specific type of fraction. In mathematical expressions, it serves as the bottom right half of an open fraction, working together with its counterpart at the top left to create a continuous line fractions or ratios. It has found particular utility in digital typography and mathematical notations, where precise representation of such fractions is essential for clarity and correctness. Although there may not be significant cultural or linguistic context around this character, its technical usage remains vital in the realms of computer science, mathematics, and other fields that require accurate and clear representation of numerical relationships.
