Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧌ has the Unicode code point U+29CC. 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+29CC to binary:
00101001 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+29CC, known as the S IN TRIANGLE, is a typographic symbol used primarily for mathematical and scientific notation in digital text. It represents the variable 'S' enclosed within a triangle, often to denote a particular transformation or change in state within an equation or formula. This character is particularly useful in computer programming and engineering disciplines where variables are frequently manipulated through different operations or functions. The S IN TRIANGLE symbol has no specific cultural or linguistic context but holds a technical significance for users dealing with complex equations or data sets that require a clear representation of variable transformations.
