Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋹ has the Unicode code point U+22F9. 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+22F9 to binary:
00100010 11111001. 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 10001011 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+22F9, also known as the "Element of With Two Horizontal Strokes," primarily serves a technical role in digital text. It is not a widely used symbol and does not have a specific cultural or linguistic context. This character may be employed to denote an element that contains two horizontal strokes within mathematical expressions or other specialized applications, such as computer programming. However, its usage is relatively limited due to its niche purpose, and it does not play a significant role in everyday typography or communication.
