Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦯ has the Unicode code point U+29AF. 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+29AF to binary:
00101001 10101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+29AF is a specialized Unicode character, known as the "Measured Angle with Open Arm Ending in Arrow Pointing Left and Down." It primarily serves a technical role within digital text, particularly in fields such as mathematics, engineering, or computer science. The character represents an angle measurement where the open arm of the angle ends with an arrow pointing left and down, typically indicating a negative or decreasing value. In these disciplines, this character is crucial for accurately conveying measurements, directions, or changes in values within various calculations, equations, or diagrams. While its usage may be niche, it holds significant importance in the context of technical and scientific communication where precision and clarity are paramount.
