Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸹ has the Unicode code point U+2E39. 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+2E39 to binary:
00101110 00111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2E39, known as the TOP HALF SECTION SIGN, primarily serves a technical purpose in digital text. It is used to denote the top half section of a larger unit or area, often utilized in engineering diagrams and technical documents. While its usage may not be widespread due to the niche nature of its application, it is an essential symbol for those working in fields such as architecture, mechanical design, and civil engineering where precise demarcation of sections and areas is critical. The TOP HALF SECTION SIGN has no notable cultural, linguistic, or regional context, as its primary function lies within a technical context rather than a language or cultural usage.
