Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸅ has the Unicode code point U+2E05. 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+2E05 to binary:
00101110 00000101
. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2E05, known as the RIGHT DOTTED SUBSTITUTION BRACKET, is a specialized symbol primarily used in mathematical notation, particularly within the realm of computer science and digital text. This particular glyph is employed to represent parentheses with dotted segments on the right side, providing an alternative visual style that can enhance readability or convey specific information about the contents enclosed within it. The primary purpose of such a unique character is to differentiate or provide context for the content in a mathematical expression, algorithmic structure, or technical documentation. Although its usage may be relatively niche compared to more universally recognized characters, the RIGHT DOTTED SUBSTITUTION BRACKET plays an important role in enhancing communication and clarity within specific digital text contexts.
