Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧇ has the Unicode code point U+29C7. 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+29C7 to binary:
00101001 11000111. 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 10000111

Description
The character U+29C7, also known as the "SQUARED SMALL CIRCLE," is a rarely used typographic symbol in the Unicode Standard, specifically found within the Miscellaneous Technical (Misc) category. Its primary function is to represent the mathematical concept of a circle squared. Although not commonly encountered in digital text, it may occasionally be employed in specific technical contexts, such as engineering documents, mathematical texts, or computer programming where precise, specialized symbols are necessary for clarity and accuracy. The SQUARED SMALL CIRCLE does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or historical significance and is mainly utilized for its straightforward mathematical implications.
