Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸒ has the Unicode code point U+2E12. 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+2E12 to binary:
00101110 00010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Hypodiaastole character, U+2E12, is an exotic and rarely used typographic symbol in the Unicode standard. In digital text, its typical usage or role is to represent a specific linguistic or technical concept. It is often employed in specialized fields such as linguistics, typography, or cryptography. Due to its rarity and obscure nature, the Hypodiaastole has limited cultural significance, but it remains an interesting artifact of the vast Unicode character set, reflecting the rich diversity of human language and communication systems. In the realm of digital text, the Hypodiaastole serves as a testament to the comprehensive and inclusive nature of the Unicode standard, which strives to accommodate characters from every script and writing system around the world.
