Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦷ has the Unicode code point U+29B7. 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+29B7 to binary:
00101001 10110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+29B7, known as the "Circled Parallel" character, is a less commonly used symbol in digital text. It represents a mathematical concept, specifically parallel lines that are enclosed within a circle. In typography, this symbol can be utilized to denote parallelism in various mathematical or geometric contexts. Its usage may be more prevalent in technical documents, scientific publications, or educational materials where precise representation of geometric concepts is essential. Although it does not hold significant cultural, linguistic, or historical implications, the Circled Parallel character plays a niche role in enhancing clarity and accuracy in specific digital text scenarios.
