Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E6E. 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+2E6E to binary:
00101110 01101110. 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 10111001 10101110

Description
U+2E6E is a less commonly used Unicode character with specific roles in digital text. The character represents the symbol "", which is a mathematical sign denoting an unspecified operation or function. It is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block, and is primarily used in technical documents, computer programming, and engineering fields. Although it may not be widely recognized by casual users, it plays a vital role in precise communication among experts in these domains. The use of U+2E6E reflects a deep understanding of typography, as well as a need for clarity and specificity in contexts where ambiguity or misinterpretation could have significant consequences.
