Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹘ has the Unicode code point U+2E58. 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+2E58 to binary:
00101110 01011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2E58, known as RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH DOUBLE STROKE, is a typographical symbol that serves a specific role in digital text. It is part of the 'Miscellaneous Technical' block in the Unicode Standard. This symbol typically appears in programming contexts and mathematical expressions. Its primary function is to enclose or delimit sections of code or formulas, similar to how parentheses are used in English language writing. The RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH DOUBLE STROKE might also be used in specific cultural or technical contexts where a unique visual representation is desired for enclosing text or symbols. While not as widely recognized as some other Unicode characters, the RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH DOUBLE STROKE remains an essential tool in the digital world, particularly among programmers and mathematicians who value its distinct appearance and clear demarcation of content.
