Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦰ has the Unicode code point U+29B0. 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+29B0 to binary:
00101001 10110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+29B0, known as the Reversed Empty Set, holds a unique position in the world of typography and digital text. It is not meant for representing any specific symbol or character, but instead serves a functional purpose in mathematical expressions. In its typical usage, the Reversed Empty Set character is used to denote a set that contains no elements. This can be particularly useful when expressing a concept such as an empty or null set in various mathematical fields like set theory and computer science. While it may not hold any particular cultural significance, the Reversed Empty Set symbol (U+29B0) is an essential tool for accurate digital text representation within these disciplines.
