Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧛ has the Unicode code point U+29DB. 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+29DB to binary:
00101001 11011011. 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 10100111 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+29DB represents the "RIGHT DOUBLE WIGGLY FENCE" in typography and is primarily used as a delimiter or separator in digital text. Although not widely used, it serves to visually divide sections of content or indicate a change in context within a text. This particular character has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context due to its limited usage, making it an esoteric and relatively unknown symbol among typography enthusiasts and experts.
