Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦉ has the Unicode code point U+2989. 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+2989 to binary:
00101001 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2989, also known as "Z NOTATION LEFT BINDING BRACKET," is a typographical symbol that holds significance in digital text, specifically within the domain of mathematics and computer science. In these contexts, it is primarily employed to denote structured information or expressions, often serving as delimiters in mathematical notations or programming languages. It represents a left-side binding bracket, corresponding to its right-side counterpart U+298A (Z NOTATION RIGHT BINDING BRACKET). Although the character may be less familiar compared to other widely used symbols, it remains an essential tool for ensuring accurate and unambiguous communication in fields where precise expression of ideas and data is crucial.
