Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧄ has the Unicode code point U+29C4. 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+29C4 to binary:
00101001 11000100. 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 10000100

Description
The character U+29C4, also known as the "SQUARED RISING DIAGONAL SLASH," is a typographical symbol used in digital text. It is an abstract geometric shape that combines a square with a rising diagonal slash, representing a unique and visually striking design element. In typography, such characters often serve decorative or ornamental purposes, adding variety and visual interest to digital text without conveying specific meaning. There are no known cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts in which the SQUARED RISING DIAGONAL SLASH is particularly significant or widely recognized. It is typically used in design projects, such as logos, branding materials, and other creative applications where a distinctive symbol can enhance visual appeal without carrying any inherent meaning. The character's precise usage depends on the designer's creative vision and the specific requirements of the project at hand.
