Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸨ has the Unicode code point U+2E28. 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+2E28 to binary:
00101110 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2E28, also known as the Left Double Parenthesis, plays a significant role in digital typography. It is used to denote mathematical parentheses for complex mathematical expressions, particularly in the TeX typesetting system and LaTeX markup language. While it may not be commonly utilized in everyday digital text, its precise function is essential in the realm of mathematics and scientific writing. The Left Double Parenthesis is a vital tool in expressing nested or compound equations, contributing to clarity and accuracy in these advanced fields of study. There are no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts associated with this specific Unicode character, as its primary purpose is functional rather than symbolic or expressive.
