Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦒ has the Unicode code point U+2992. 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+2992 to binary:
00101001 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2992, known as the "RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET WITH DOT," is a specialized typographical symbol that plays an important role in digital text, particularly in computer programming and mathematical notation. This unique character serves to visually distinguish it from a standard right angle bracket (U+003E) by featuring a small dot within the bracket. The addition of the dot signifies a specific meaning or operation in various contexts, such as indicating a subset relationship in set theory or denoting an inclusive range in programming languages. Despite its seemingly minor difference from the standard right angle bracket, the RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET WITH DOT is crucial for maintaining accuracy and clarity in text that relies on these distinctions. Its inclusion in Unicode demonstrates the importance of providing a diverse set of characters to facilitate clear communication across multiple disciplines, including computer science, mathematics, and linguistics.
