Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹉ has the Unicode code point U+2E49. 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+2E49 to binary:
00101110 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2E49, known as the DOUBLE STACKED COMMA, is a relatively obscure typographical symbol that has limited usage in digital text. Its primary role is to separate items in a list or series of values when a single comma would be too close together due to formatting constraints or aesthetic preferences. This character is not widely used and may not be supported by all software or platforms, making its usage somewhat niche and specialized. Despite its limited use, the DOUBLE STACKED COMMA serves an important function in certain contexts where precise text layout and visual clarity are essential.
