Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧎ has the Unicode code point U+29CE. 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+29CE to binary:
00101001 11001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+29CE, known as the RIGHT TRIANGLE ABOVE LEFT TRIANGLE (▷▽), is a geometric symbol that represents the combination of two triangles, one right-pointing and the other left-pointing. This character primarily serves in digital text as a mathematical or technical symbol to represent specific operations, concepts, or relationships within those fields. In mathematics, it can denote certain types of vector spaces or subspaces when used alongside other geometric symbols. It also appears in technical documentation and diagrams for various industries, such as engineering, computer graphics, and information technology. While the character may not have a significant cultural context, its usage is essential in the accurate representation of these specialized concepts, ensuring clear communication among professionals within these domains.
