Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧝ has the Unicode code point U+29DD. 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+29DD to binary:
00101001 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+29DD, known as the TIE OVER INFINITY, is a typographical symbol that plays a significant role in digital text. It is used to represent the mathematical concept of infinity with a vertical line extending over it, symbolizing an infinite series or sequence. While not widely utilized in everyday language, this character is often found in specialized fields such as mathematics and computer science, where precise communication of complex ideas is crucial. Its unique design distinguishes it from other symbols for infinity, like the lemniscate (U+2113) or the simple infinity sign (U+267E).
