Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸦ has the Unicode code point U+2E26. 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+2E26 to binary:
00101110 00100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+2E26, known as the Left Sideways U Bracket, is a typographical symbol that plays a vital role in digital text representation. Primarily used in mathematics and computer science, it serves to delimit or group expressions within a text. This non-spacing character does not alter the appearance of surrounding characters, maintaining a consistent visual presentation. In mathematical notation, the Left Sideways U Bracket is often employed to denote an open interval, representing a range of values that a variable can take. This concept is crucial in calculus and other advanced mathematics fields. In computer science, it is utilized in syntax highlighting and code formatting, making code more readable and comprehensible for programmers. While the Left Sideways U Bracket does not have a direct connection to any specific cultural or linguistic context, its applications across various disciplines demonstrate its universal value in digital communication. As an essential tool in math and computer science, this character exemplifies the power of Unicode in facilitating global understanding and collaboration.
