Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BA7. 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+0BA7 to binary:
00001011 10100111. 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:
11100000 10101110 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+0BA7 is a special symbol, known as the "Double Prime Quadrant Sign" (CHARACTER 0BA7). It plays a crucial role in the field of information technology, specifically in digital text representation. Its primary usage is within the context of the Unified Scheduling Language (USL), an international standard for data interchange and communication between systems. In USL, CHARACTER 0BA7 is used to denote a particular kind of scheduling event known as a "double prime quadrant." This term refers to a specific arrangement of time slots within a schedule, where each slot consists of two consecutive periods of equal length, separated by a brief rest or break. The Double Prime Quadrant Sign is essential for accurately representing and communicating such schedules in various industries, including aviation, logistics, and event planning. Despite its specialized application, CHARACTER 0BA7 has become an important tool for efficient communication of scheduling information across languages and cultures due to the universal adoption of Unicode.
