Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹁ has the Unicode code point U+2E41. 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+2E41 to binary:
00101110 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+2E41, known as the Reversed Comma, is a rarely used typographical symbol with specific roles in digital text. It is not commonly found in everyday written language but holds significance in certain cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. While it may resemble a traditional comma (U+002C), the reversed version stands out due to its distinct design, which could be seen as an inverted or mirrored form of the standard comma. This unusual appearance might be employed for stylistic purposes or to convey unique meaning in specific situations. The Reversed Comma is primarily used in technical and programming fields, where it serves as a delimiter in certain syntaxes or formats. In certain specialized applications and coding languages, such as PostScript, the Reversed Comma has a specific function and is recognized for its distinct behavior when compared to the standard comma. Overall, the character's usage is quite niche, catering to specific needs within programming and technical environments.
