Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹐ has the Unicode code point U+2E50. 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+2E50 to binary:
00101110 01010000. 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 10111001 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2E50, also known as the Cross Patty with Right Crossbar, is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for its unique representation. In typography, this character often serves to visually separate or denote sections within a text. It's not tied to any specific language, but can be used across multiple linguistic contexts where such distinction is useful, such as in mathematical formulas, computer programming, or technical documentation. The Cross Patty with Right Crossbar is an example of how Unicode provides a wide range of characters for various purposes beyond simple alphanumeric representation.
