Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FE2. 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+0FE2 to binary:
00001111 11100010. 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 10111111 10100010

Description
U+0FE2 is a character in the Unicode standard that represents the letter "L with reversed stroke" (CHARACTER 0FE2). This typographic symbol is commonly used in digital text for its distinctive visual appearance and to convey specific meanings within various linguistic and cultural contexts. The character features a horizontal stroke at the bottom of the letter "L," which has been flipped or mirrored, creating an aesthetically unique design that sets it apart from other letters. This distinctive characteristic allows the U+0FE2 character to serve as a powerful visual element in typography and graphic design, particularly when used as part of custom fonts or unique alphabets. Its reversed stroke can also be employed metaphorically, symbolizing a change in direction or the concept of "reversal" in various cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. In summary, U+0FE2 (CHARACTER 0FE2) is a versatile and visually striking Unicode character, often utilized for its distinctive appearance and ability to convey specific meanings across diverse language systems and design applications.
