Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧘ has the Unicode code point U+29D8. 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+29D8 to binary:
00101001 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+29D8, known as the Left Wiggly Fence, serves a specific role within digital typography. It is primarily used for setting off blocks of text in a zigzag pattern. This can be particularly useful in creating visual cues for paragraph divisions or highlighting text sections in digital publications. Although it may not be commonly seen in everyday use, the Left Wiggly Fence has its place in specialized design applications and can add an interesting visual element to digital content when used appropriately. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, there isn't a specific usage or significance associated with the Left Wiggly Fence. Its main purpose lies within typographical aesthetics and layout organization rather than conveying meaning or representing language.
