Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧒ has the Unicode code point U+29D2. 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+29D2 to binary:
00101001 11010010. 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 10100111 10010010

Description
U+29D2 is a unique typographical character known as the "BOWTIE WITH RIGHT HALF BLACK". In digital text, this symbol represents a type of bowtie that has been split in half with the right half being blacked out. It doesn't have any typical usage or role in digital text and it is not commonly seen. However, when used, it can add a distinctive visual element to text-based designs or coding projects. The BOWTIE WITH RIGHT HALF BLACK character isn't widely recognized in cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts due to its limited usage and the fact that it doesn't represent any universal symbol or concept. It is part of the Unicode Standard, a coding system that assigns unique codes to characters for digital text processing.
