Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧙ has the Unicode code point U+29D9. 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+29D9 to binary:
00101001 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+29D9, known as the RIGHT WIGGLY FENCE, is a lesser-known symbol in typography that holds significance in digital text. Its typical usage is in creating wiggly lines used to separate or enclose content, much like a traditional fence would. Although not as widely recognized as other Unicode symbols, it still serves an important role in certain contexts where a more playful or visually distinct boundary line is desired. The RIGHT WIGGLY FENCE does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its specific usage within digital text. It is an example of how the Unicode system allows for the inclusion and representation of a vast array of characters from different scripts, symbols, and forms of visual expression.
