Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷴ has the Unicode code point U+2DF4. 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+2DF4 to binary:
00101101 11110100. 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 10110111 10110100

Description
U+2DF4 is a relatively obscure character in the Unicode system, known as the COMBINING CYRILLIC LETTER FITA. It is typically employed in digital text to combine with other Cyrillic characters, specifically the lowercase letter "я" (U+043A). The combination of U+2DF4 and U+043A forms the lowercase Russian letter "ята" or "jat", which represents a palatalized "ya" sound. This character pair is primarily used in the Russian language, where it serves as a key part of the Cyrillic script. The use of these characters allows for accurate phonetic representation and clear communication in digital text, particularly within texts written in Russian or other languages that utilize the Cyrillic alphabet. It's essential to note that U+2DF4 is not a standalone character but rather serves as an additional mark for enhancing the functionality of the already existing Cyrillic characters, showcasing the intricate nature of the Unicode system in providing a comprehensive range of characters to represent various languages and scripts accurately.
