Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧜ has the Unicode code point U+29DC. 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+29DC to binary:
00101001 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+29DC, also known as the Incomplete Infinity symbol, is a typographical representation used to depict an indefinite mathematical quantity or concept that is not yet fully determined or realized. Typically employed within digital text, it plays a crucial role in mathematics, computer science, and various scientific disciplines where infinities are discussed. Although the Incomplete Infinity symbol shares visual similarity with its complete counterpart (U+223F), it specifically signifies an ongoing process or a progression toward an unreachable or undefined limit. This subtle difference makes U+29DC essential for accurate communication of mathematical concepts and theories in digital contexts, where precise representation is critical.
