Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦠ has the Unicode code point U+29A0. 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+29A0 to binary:
00101001 10100000. 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 10100110 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+29A0, known as "SPHERICAL ANGLE OPENING LEFT" (〈), plays a vital role in digital text representation. It is part of the typographical symbols set, which is used in mathematical equations and technical documents to represent an opening left spherical angle. This character is particularly useful when dealing with three-dimensional geometry, where angles are often described in terms of spherical coordinates. The U+29A0 symbol is essential in fields such as computer science, engineering, physics, and astronomy, where precise communication of spatial relationships and geometric concepts is crucial. As a lesser-known symbol in the Unicode character set, it provides an important tool for those specializing in these areas to express complex ideas with clarity and accuracy.
