Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⦂ has the Unicode code point U+2982. 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+2982 to binary:
00101001 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2982 is designated as the "Z NOTATION TYPE COLON." This specific symbol holds a significant position in typography, especially within digital text environments where it's commonly employed to represent the mathematical concept of a 'colon.' In this context, the Z NOTATION TYPE COLON is often used to denote a particular style or type of colon that follows specific rules or characteristics. While its usage is not as widespread as the standard colon, it still holds importance due to its unique properties and the role it plays in maintaining accuracy within mathematical equations and scientific notation. Despite its specialized nature, the Z NOTATION TYPE COLON remains an integral part of Unicode's vast array of characters, contributing to the richness and diversity of digital text across different platforms and applications.
