Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸷ has the Unicode code point U+2E37. 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+2E37 to binary:
00101110 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+2E37, known as the Dagger with Right Guard, is a typographical symbol used to denote caution or warning in digital text. This versatile symbol can be found in various fonts and is commonly employed in written works, especially technical documents, literature, and academic publications. While it shares visual similarity with the dagger (✣), the Dagger with Right Guard has a distinct feature of a vertical line on the right side, which serves as a guard or barrier to indicate that the following text should be treated with caution or suspicion. It is also utilized in computer programming and markup languages like HTML for its semantic meaning. Although not widely used in everyday digital communication, the Dagger with Right Guard has a niche significance in specific contexts where explicit warnings are necessary to avoid potential misunderstandings or accidents.
