Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦕ has the Unicode code point U+2995. 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+2995 to binary:
00101001 10010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2995, known as the DOUBLE LEFT ARC GREATER-THAN BRACKET, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to enclose and emphasize expressions involving greater than or less than operations. This specialized character finds its application primarily within mathematical equations, computer programming languages, and scientific documents. Its unique design, featuring two leftward arcing brackets on either side of the greater-than symbol (>), visually distinguishes it from other symbols used in digital text, enhancing readability and comprehension for those familiar with its meaning. Although U+2995 may not be as widely recognized or utilized as more common mathematical symbols like the greater than sign (>) or parentheses, it remains a valuable tool within niche fields that demand precision and clarity when representing inequalities and conditional statements.
