Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸇ has the Unicode code point U+2E07. 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+2E07 to binary:
00101110 00000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2E07, known as the RAISED DOTTED INTERPOLATION MARKER, is an essential symbol in digital typography and text representation. Its primary role is to denote a specific form of interpolation in mathematical and technical documents. It serves as a placeholder for a value or expression that has been intentionally left unspecified but will be determined at a later stage during the course of computational calculations or data interpretation. This character's significance lies in its ability to enhance clarity and prevent errors in contexts where precise representation of interpolated values is crucial, such as in statistics, computer programming, and engineering fields. While not as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, U+2E07 plays a vital role in ensuring accuracy and avoiding ambiguity in digital text.
