Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸆ has the Unicode code point U+2E06. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2E06 to binary:
00101110 00000110
. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2E06 is known as the RAISED INTERPOLATION MARKER. This typographical symbol plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly within mathematical notation and certain scientific documents where it's used to represent an operation of interpolation, often in graphical functions or equations. In this context, the character signifies a process where new data points are estimated based on existing known data points. While not widely seen outside these specialized areas, its use is essential for precise communication in the fields it serves.
