Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧚ has the Unicode code point U+29DA. 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+29DA to binary:
00101001 11011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+29DA, commonly known as the Left Double Wiggly Fence, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to denote enclosure or separation. It plays a significant role in typesetting and text formatting, particularly in technical documents and specialized fields where visual clarity and precision are essential. While it doesn't have any direct linguistic or cultural significance, its unique appearance can help create distinct sections or divisions within text content. The Left Double Wiggly Fence is not widely used due to its niche application and the rarity of need for such a specific symbol in most contexts. However, when employed correctly, it contributes to enhanced readability and organization in digital texts.
