Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹖ has the Unicode code point U+2E56. 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+2E56 to binary:
00101110 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+2E56 is a specialized typographical character known as the "RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET WITH STROKE." This Unicode character is typically used in digital text to represent a right square bracket with a diagonal stroke through it. Its primary usage lies within programming and markup languages, where it serves as a delimiter or separator. In some contexts, the character can be employed for decorative purposes or to create unique visual effects. However, it is essential to note that its use may impact readability in certain cultural or linguistic settings, and overuse might result in text clutter or confusion. Overall, the Right Square Bracket with Stroke plays a niche role in digital communication, providing an alternative visual representation for standard typographical elements.
