Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹕ has the Unicode code point U+2E55. 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+2E55 to binary:
00101110 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2E55, known as the Left Square Bracket with Stroke, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text. It serves as a variant of the standard left square bracket (U+005B), which is commonly employed in delimiting elements within a line of text, such as marking the beginning and end of a list item or a block of code. The Left Square Bracket with Stroke distinguishes itself through its unique design, featuring a single diagonal stroke that runs from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the symbol. While this character may not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical significance, its existence within the Unicode standard allows for greater diversity in typographical expression and visual communication. The Left Square Bracket with Stroke can be used in various contexts where a slight deviation from the conventional square bracket is desired, such as in design projects, digital art, or even in coding when seeking to add a distinct aesthetic touch.
