Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧁ has the Unicode code point U+29C1. 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+29C1 to binary:
00101001 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
The character U+29C1 represents the "Circled Greater-Than" symbol (❵) in Unicode. This special character is primarily utilized in digital text for mathematical expressions and comparisons, where it signifies an inequality greater than. Its unique form sets it apart from a standard greater-than symbol (>), which features a simple rightward arrow. The "Circled Greater-Than" symbol is often employed in mathematical notation systems and programming languages to denote that a value on the left side of the operator is greater than the value on the right. Although not widely used, it serves an essential role for those who need clarity and distinction in their textual representations of inequality relationships, ensuring accurate interpretation by readers and software.
