Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦽ has the Unicode code point U+29BD. 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+29BD to binary:
00101001 10111101. 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 10100110 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+29BD, known as the "UP ARROW THROUGH CIRCLE", serves a unique role in digital text and graphic presentation. It is typically used within programming languages or symbolic notations to signify an upward direction or movement, similar to the standard arrow symbols (↑, ↑, ⇑). Unlike these, however, U+29BD features a circle surrounding the arrowhead, which can add visual emphasis or convey a more specific meaning based on context. In some cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, this character might be used to indicate an upward sweep or circulation in algorithms or mathematical operations. Its usage can vary depending on the programming language or symbolic system being employed, but it generally maintains its core function of representing an upward movement or direction. The UP ARROW THROUGH CIRCLE is a valuable tool for programmers and mathematicians alike, offering precision and visual clarity in digital text representations.
