Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧽ has the Unicode code point U+29FD. 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+29FD to binary:
00101001 11111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+29FD, the Right-Pointing Curved Angle Bracket, is a lesser-known character within the Unicode standard that serves a specific purpose in digital text. It is not commonly utilized due to its unique appearance, resembling a combination of an open angle bracket and a curved arrow. This symbol's primary role lies in its use as a delimiter or separator in mathematical expressions and certain computer programming languages. In these contexts, the Right-Pointing Curved Angle Bracket often indicates a range, bound, or segment within a series of numbers or elements, helping to clarify and organize complex data. It is particularly useful when displaying sequences in fields such as statistics, cryptography, and information technology. While not widely recognized, U+29FD holds significance for those who require precise and clear communication of technical concepts.
