Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸲ has the Unicode code point U+2E32. 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+2E32 to binary:
00101110 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2E32 is known as the Turned Comma. This typographic symbol, introduced in 2016 with the release of Unicode 9.0, is primarily used in digital text for its distinctive visual appearance and can be considered a stylistic variant of the regular comma (U+002C). The Turned Comma is a curved shape that resembles a comma rotated by 180 degrees, which may improve readability in certain scripts or typographic contexts. Despite its visual uniqueness, the Turned Comma is not associated with any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. Its primary role lies within typography and digital text design, where it can be used to add variety and visual interest to written works.
