Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸉ has the Unicode code point U+2E09. 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+2E09 to binary:
00101110 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2E09, known as the Left Transposition Bracket, serves a unique purpose in digital text formatting. It is primarily used to denote the transposition of elements within a mathematical expression or scientific notation, allowing for an alternate order of operations without altering the overall meaning. This bracket is particularly useful in programming languages and specific document markup languages where precise sequencing of elements is crucial. While it may not be widely employed in everyday typography, its existence highlights the vast range of characters available in Unicode to cater to diverse needs in digital communication.
