Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦺ has the Unicode code point U+29BA. 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+29BA to binary:
00101001 10111010. 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 10100110 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+29BA represents a unique typographical symbol known as "CIRCLE DIVIDED BY HORIZONTAL BAR AND TOP HALF DIVIDED BY VERTICAL BAR." This character is primarily used in digital text to convey a visual representation of the described division within a circle. While its usage may be rare, it can appear in contexts where precise symbolic notation is necessary for mathematical expressions, technical diagrams, or artistic representations. It doesn't hold any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its specific typographical function. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is crucial to understand the nuances of such characters and their applications in various fields.
