Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧴ has the Unicode code point U+29F4. 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+29F4 to binary:
00101001 11110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+29F4, known as RULE-DELAYED, primarily serves a typographical function within digital text. It is utilized to control the presentation of lines and paragraphs in typesetting applications. In this context, it acts as a placeholder, delaying the rendering of a line or paragraph until certain conditions are met, such as when specific text elements are inserted or removed. This allows for precise formatting and layout adjustments, ensuring accurate rendering of content across various devices and platforms. RULE-DELAYED is commonly used in professional publishing, design, and layout software to create complex and visually appealing documents. Although it may not have a prominent role in everyday digital communication, its significance lies in the nuanced control it offers over typographical presentation.
