Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸝ has the Unicode code point U+2E1D. 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+2E1D to binary:
00101110 00011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2E1D is known as the RIGHT LOW PARAPHRASE BRACKET. In digital text, it serves a specific function within typography by enclosing a phrase or sentence that is meant to be understood in a particular way, often for purposes of clarification or emphasis. Its designation as "low" implies that there is also an accompanying "high" paraphrase bracket. This character finds its use primarily in programming and markup languages like LaTeX, where it helps structure text and convey complex ideas more clearly. Although U+2E1D may not be widely recognized by non-technical users, it plays a crucial role in the precise presentation of information in various digital environments.
