Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸜ has the Unicode code point U+2E1C. 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+2E1C to binary:
00101110 00011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+2E1C, known as the Left Low Paraphraphe Bracket, is a typographical symbol that holds significant importance in digital text. Its primary role is to enclose or set off a passage of text, typically used in legal documents or academic writing. It is often employed to indicate a side clause or an independent clause, creating a visual distinction that helps improve readability and comprehension. Although it may seem obscure, the Left Low Paraphraphe Bracket plays a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and clarity in formal documents. While its usage might not be as widespread as other typographical symbols, its presence can greatly enhance the organization and structure of text, especially within legal and academic contexts.
