Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸫ has the Unicode code point U+2E2B. 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+2E2B to binary:
00101110 00101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+2E2B, also known as ONE DOT OVER TWO DOTS PUNCTUATION, is a typographic character in the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in digital text representation. This unique punctuation symbol is used to indicate an interruption or pause within a sentence or phrase, providing clarity and improved readability for the end-user. In digital text communication, its usage is predominantly seen in programming languages, particularly when displaying mathematical expressions, where it helps differentiate between similar symbols like the decimal point (U+002E) and the division operator (U+00F7). The ONE DOT OVER TWO DOTS PUNCTUATION is vital for maintaining accuracy in technical documents and ensuring that the intended meaning is conveyed effectively.
