Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧃ has the Unicode code point U+29C3. 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+29C3 to binary:
00101001 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+29C3, the Character "CIRCLE WITH TWO HORIZONTAL STROKES TO THE RIGHT," is an Unicode character primarily used in digital text for its specific symbolic value. It represents a circle with two horizontal lines drawn through it from left to right, indicating interruption or discontinuation. Typical usage of this character can be found in technical documentation, programming languages, and mathematical notations where the concept of interruption or suspension is needed. This character has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context, and its main purpose lies within its symbolic representation. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is essential to note that U+29C3 should be used accurately and sparingly, as overuse might confuse readers or distract from the content's primary focus.
