Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2459. 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+2459 to binary:
00100100 01011001. 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:
11100010 10010001 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2459, also known as CHARACTER 2459, is a lesser-known symbol in the Digital Text block of Unicode. It is primarily used in specific applications, such as XML processing or computer programming, where it serves as a general entity reference with ampersand and semicolon characters (&;). Despite its low visibility and limited usage, CHARACTER 2459 holds significance in digital text formatting and encoding processes, ensuring proper rendering and interpretation across diverse platforms. While not deeply rooted in cultural or linguistic traditions, it contributes to the accurate representation and exchange of information within the realm of computer-mediated communication.
