Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦛ has the Unicode code point U+299B. 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+299B to binary:
00101001 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+299B, the Measured Angle Opening Left character, plays a crucial role in digital text representation, particularly in mathematical and scientific documents. This Unicode character is used to denote an open angle within a measured angle, which is essential for accurately conveying geometric relationships and measurements. The measured angle is composed of three parts: the opening left (U+299B), closing right (U+299C), and arc of the angle (U+299D). These characters allow for precise representation of angles in various mathematical equations, diagrams, and text that require a high level of accuracy. The usage of U+299B is primarily found within technical documents, such as engineering drawings, computer graphics applications, and mathematical formulae. It ensures clarity and consistency across various digital platforms and formats.
