Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1778. 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+1778 to binary:
00010111 01111000. 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:
11100001 10011101 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+1778 is a unique symbol with specific roles in digital typography. With its hexadecimal code, it represents the 𝌘 character in the Typographic Symbols extension block. This character is often used for mathematical expressions and formulas in digital text due to its resemblance to a mathematical sign, specifically the Greek uppercase letter Omega with a horizontal stroke. In certain contexts, it can be used to denote an operation or a specific mathematical construct. Its usage extends beyond mathematics into computer programming where it is occasionally used as an identifier or variable name. It's worth noting that its use in text may vary depending on the font and software being used. The character holds no notable cultural significance, but its technical role in digital typography cannot be undermined due to its unique representation and usage in specific contexts.
