Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧾ has the Unicode code point U+29FE. 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+29FE to binary:
00101001 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+29FE is a typographic symbol called "TINY" within the Unicode standard. This character primarily serves as a size indicator in digital text, denoting that the following text should be displayed at a smaller size than normal. While not widely used, it can be found in specialized document markup languages or coding environments where precise control over text presentation is necessary. It's important to note that the usage of U+29FE is typically limited to contexts requiring a high degree of typographic accuracy and control, such as digital publishing, graphic design, or web development. No specific cultural or linguistic significance is associated with this character; its primary role lies in technical applications within typography and text presentation.
