Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧺ has the Unicode code point U+29FA. 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+29FA to binary:
00101001 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+29FA is known as the Double Plus symbol. This symbol serves a specific purpose in digital text, primarily in mathematical expressions and equations where it denotes an addition operation of higher significance or importance. Unlike the standard plus sign (+) which is typically used to denote simple addition, the Double Plus signifies that the addition being performed involves two or more quantities of greater magnitude or complexity. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for enhanced communication and clarity in digital text, particularly within scientific, technical, and mathematical fields. While it may not be commonly used outside these specific contexts, its presence in the Unicode system ensures its availability for those who require it.
