Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸑ has the Unicode code point U+2E11. 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+2E11 to binary:
00101110 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2E11, known as the Reversed Forked Paragraphos, is a typographical symbol that holds a significant place in digital text. It is primarily used to represent the reversal of text direction at the beginning or end of a paragraph. In terms of its usage, this character is commonly employed in manuscripts and printed texts that are written in ancient Greek scripts like Ionic or Epic. The Reversed Forked Paragraphos is not limited to linguistic usage, as it also serves a technical purpose in Unicode by providing a distinct visual cue for the change in text direction. This allows digital content creators and typographers to maintain consistent formatting and readability when working with multidirectional scripts.
