Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹋ has the Unicode code point U+2E4B. 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+2E4B to binary:
00101110 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E4B is known as the Triple Dagger symbol. It is used predominantly in computer systems for representing a distinct form of punctuation. Its primary role is to indicate caution or warning, similar to other punctuation marks like an asterisk or an exclamation point. However, it is more specific and precise, highlighting a particular issue that may warrant the reader's immediate attention. Despite its name, this symbol does not have any direct connection with daggers or weapons in traditional or cultural contexts. In digital text, its usage may vary based on the requirement of the context. It might be used in technical documents to warn about potential hazards, in coding languages for specific syntax requirements, or even in creative writing to denote an ominous or cautionary tone. Its precise application is highly dependent on the nature of the text where it is incorporated. Though it may seem obscure, the Triple Dagger symbol plays a vital role in enhancing clarity and precision in digital communication.
