Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸏ has the Unicode code point U+2E0F. 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+2E0F to binary:
00101110 00001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+2E0F, also known as the Paragraphos character, is a symbol from the Unicode standard used in typography. It represents an ancient Greek paragraph mark that was employed to indicate a new section or topic within a text. While its usage has diminished over time with the advent of modern paragraph and section breaks such as the hard return or line break (U+000D) and the paragraph separation symbol (U+2028), the Paragraphos symbol still holds cultural and historical significance in the realm of digital text. It is particularly appreciated by typographers, classicists, and those involved in the publication of ancient texts for its ability to convey a sense of continuity and cohesion in works that may have been divided into sections or topics centuries ago. In modern usage, the Paragraphos symbol can be employed in digital text as a way to emphasize the importance of a new topic or section within a work, while also adding an element of historical context and aesthetic appeal.
