Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹎ has the Unicode code point U+2E4E. 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+2E4E to binary:
00101110 01001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+2E4E, known as the Punctus Elevatus Mark, is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text to indicate an upward arrow or elevation. Although not widely employed, it serves a specific purpose in various applications such as mathematics, programming, and technical writing where explicit representation of upward movement is essential. The character's origin can be traced back to its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character used across different languages and platforms. Despite its limited usage, the Punctus Elevatus Mark holds significance in specialized contexts where precise communication of directional information is crucial.
