Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦥ has the Unicode code point U+29A5. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+29A5 to binary:
00101001 10100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The character U+29A5, known as the Reversed Angle with Underbar, is a typographical symbol with specific applications in digital text. It serves primarily as an indicator of the reversal of the direction of a text or flow of information, often used to represent mathematical concepts where angles are involved. In some instances, it is also employed as a punctuation mark for certain types of documents and publications requiring precise formatting. The Reversed Angle with Underbar holds no significant cultural or linguistic context, but its usage in technical documents demonstrates its importance in specific fields such as engineering, computer programming, and mathematics. Its clear and accurate application is essential to avoid confusion and ensure proper interpretation of the text or data it represents.
