Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧉ has the Unicode code point U+29C9. 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+29C9 to binary:
00101001 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+29C9, known as TWO JOINED SQUARES, is a typographical symbol that holds significance in digital text due to its unique design and potential applications. This character represents two square shapes connected at their edges, resembling the concept of joining or connecting. It's not associated with any specific language, but rather serves as a visual representation often used in various contexts such as technical illustrations, diagrams, flowcharts, or other visual aids where a connection between two elements is needed without utilizing textual symbols. Although it may not be widely recognized or used frequently, TWO JOINED SQUARES adds to the vast array of symbols available within the Unicode Standard, offering designers and typographers an additional tool for expressing ideas visually in digital communication.
