Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦪ has the Unicode code point U+29AA. 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+29AA to binary:
00101001 10101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+29AA is a typographical character known as the "Measured Angle with Open Arm Ending in Arrow Pointing Down and Right". This Unicode character typically serves a specific role within digital text, particularly in technical contexts where precision and mathematical accuracy are of prime importance. It is often used in geometry-related calculations and diagrams to illustrate angles that have been measured, with one open arm ending in an arrow pointing downwards and another ending in an arrow pointing rightwards. This character provides a clear visual representation of the measured angle orientation, making it particularly useful in fields such as architecture, engineering, surveying, and geospatial technology where precise angle measurements are crucial. While it may not have a direct cultural or linguistic significance, its usage in various technical disciplines highlights the importance of accurate communication and visualization of spatial data.
