Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸃ has the Unicode code point U+2E03. 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+2E03 to binary:
00101110 00000011
. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E03 is known as the "RIGHT SUBSTITUTION BRACKET." In digital text, it typically serves a specialized role in certain coding and programming contexts, where it often denotes a right substitution bracket or parenthesis. Specifically, it is used to indicate that the preceding expression within the brackets is to be substituted by the following expression in programming languages like Bracmat or in text encoding schemes. The character does not have any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of these specialized uses. It is important to note that while it may appear in various fonts and encodings, its representation and functionality remain consistent across different platforms that support Unicode standards.
