Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧻ has the Unicode code point U+29FB. 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+29FB to binary:
00101001 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+29FB is the Triple Plus symbol. It is primarily used in mathematical notations to denote an operation that requires three positive integers as input. The character has a crucial role in digital text, especially in mathematical expressions, where it helps eliminate ambiguity and ensure accuracy in calculations. Its introduction into Unicode was an essential development for mathematicians and researchers working with multiple-valued logic systems and set theory. However, its usage is relatively rare outside of these specific contexts due to the limited necessity of the operation it represents in everyday language or communication. Despite this, it remains a vital symbol in certain technical fields where its application is both culturally and linguistically significant.
