Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧏ has the Unicode code point U+29CF. 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+29CF to binary:
00101001 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+29CF, the Left Triangle Beside Vertical Bar, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in various applications within digital text. This Unicode character, also known as the "Left Triangle with Upwards Arrowhead Beside Vertical Line," serves primarily as a mathematical symbol or delimiter to represent a specific type of set or interval in mathematics and computer science. It is commonly used to denote an open-ended interval on the left side of a formula or equation, indicating that the value within the interval is less than but not equal to the specified bound. While this character is not widely used in everyday written language, it holds a crucial position in formal mathematical notation and coding systems, particularly when dealing with intervals, ranges, and data sets.
