Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸣ has the Unicode code point U+2E23. 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+2E23 to binary:
00101110 00100011
. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E23 represents the "TOP RIGHT HALF BRACKET" in digital text. This character is often employed in mathematical notation and symbolic expressions to delineate segments of content. For instance, it can denote a section or portion within an equation or formula, or even signify a specific boundary in a sequence of data. Despite its name suggesting a positioning on the upper-right corner of a bracket, U+2E23 is not restricted to this placement and may be used anywhere within text where its function necessitates. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, there are none that are particularly notable for this character. Its usage relies heavily on its ability to clearly demarcate sections of text in various contexts, making it an essential tool for precision in digital communication.
