Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧍ has the Unicode code point U+29CD. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+29CD to binary:
00101001 11001101
. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+29CD, known as TRIANGLE WITH SERIFS AT BOTTOM, is a geometric symbol used in digital text to represent an equilateral triangle with serifs at the bottom points. This character is often employed in typography and design work to convey a sense of balance or stability due to its inherent symmetry. In linguistic and cultural contexts, it may be utilized to illustrate concepts related to balance, harmony, or equilibrium. The TRIANGLE WITH SERIFS AT BOTTOM has no specific technical function but can serve as an effective visual aid when conveying such ideas in digital text. It is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block within the Unicode Standard, which includes a wide range of specialized symbols and characters used for various purposes in digital communication and information presentation.
