Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧨ has the Unicode code point U+29E8. 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+29E8 to binary:
00101001 11101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+29E8, known as "DOWN-POINTING TRIANGLE WITH LEFT HALF BLACK," is a symbol primarily used in digital text for various purposes related to mathematics, computer programming, and typography. In mathematical expressions, this symbol can represent an element that is partially ordered or partially defined. It serves as a visual cue for the reader to recognize that only a portion of the structure or property under discussion is known or applicable. In computer programming, particularly in markup languages such as XML and HTML, this character can be used to create custom symbols, icons, or graphical elements that are not easily representable with standard ASCII characters. It has also been utilized in Unicode Consortium's character encoding system for the purpose of representing these kinds of specific graphics. The character is part of a broader set of arrow and triangle symbols available in the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, or graphical element used across different languages and platforms. The U+29E8 character contributes to the universality and accessibility of digital text by enabling users and developers to create more expressive, descriptive, and visually engaging content.
