Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D6A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2D6A to binary:
00101101 01101010
. 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 10110101 10101010

Description
U+2D6A is a specialized typographical character in the Unicode standard. It represents the "Wavy Dashed Underline" (𝚩) in digital text. This particular glyph is often employed to underline text in a creative or decorative manner, such as in advertising materials, greeting cards, or other forms of informal communication where visual appeal takes precedence over strict adherence to standard typography guidelines. Although its usage may be more stylistic than functional, the Wavy Dashed Underline can still effectively convey emphasis or importance when used appropriately. There is no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with U+2D6A, as it serves a primarily decorative purpose in digital text.
