Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FF6. 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+0FF6 to binary:
00001111 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+0FF6 is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, representing the fullwidth reverse solidus (∩) in digital text. This character serves an essential role in various East Asian typography systems, particularly in Japanese, where it denotes an intersection or cross. As part of the Fullwidth Forms block, U+0FF6 is often used to maintain consistency with traditional typesetting styles when rendering text in digital formats. The reverse solidus is frequently applied in mathematical expressions and engineering diagrams in these contexts. While it may not have a direct counterpart in Latin script typography, U+0FF6 remains an important element for preserving the integrity of East Asian text formatting in digital environments.
