Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17ED. 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+17ED to binary:
00010111 11101101. 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 10011111 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+17ED, also known as "CHARACTER 17ED", is primarily utilized within digital text for its specific role as a mathematical symbol. It represents the "curly equation" or "curly bracket" (〈), which is commonly used in various scientific and technical documents to enclose or contain expressions or equations. This character offers a unique way of presenting content, ensuring clarity and coherence especially within complex mathematical formulas. Although it is not widely used in everyday language, its presence in digital text remains vital for accurate representation of mathematical ideas and concepts across different platforms and software that employ Unicode standard. Its usage also reflects the evolving nature of typography and the constant need for diverse symbols and characters to facilitate clear communication within specialized fields.
