Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦍ has the Unicode code point U+298D. 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+298D to binary:
00101001 10001101. 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 10100110 10001101

Description
U+298D, also known as the Left Square Bracket with Tick in Top Corner, is a Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital text. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols block of the Unicode Standard and is often used in programming languages for its unique appearance, which combines a left square bracket with an upward tick mark at the top corner. This combination creates a visually distinctive boundary or delimiter, making it useful for denoting specific syntax elements in various programming contexts. While not widely used in everyday text or language, this character has found its niche in specialized digital environments where precise and clear coding is essential.
