Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧞ has the Unicode code point U+29DE. 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+29DE to binary:
00101001 11011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+29DE is a Unicode character known as "INFINITY NEGATED WITH VERTICAL BAR". It serves a specific role in digital text by representing the negation of infinity using a vertical bar symbol. This character is primarily used in mathematical contexts, particularly within typography, where it helps convey the concept of an infinite set being excluded or subtracted from a larger, infinite collection. Its typical usage is often seen in set theory and related mathematical fields where the notion of infinity and its manipulation are crucial. However, this character doesn't have any notable cultural or linguistic significance. It is purely a technical symbol used to represent a specific concept within digital text.
