Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯔ has the Unicode code point U+2BD4. 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+2BD4 to binary:
00101011 11010100. 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 10101111 10010100

Description
U+2BD4, also known as Pluto Form Three, is a character within the Unicode standard that holds specific importance for typography enthusiasts and digital text specialists. This symbol finds its primary usage in the context of the Plutonic system, an alphabetical writing system developed by Paul J. Fatout, which draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. In this system, each character represents a unique combination of sounds, allowing for more precise communication than traditional phonetic systems. Although it does not have widespread adoption in modern digital text usage, Pluto Form Three holds value as a representation of the ongoing exploration and evolution of writing systems. Its presence within Unicode allows for greater accessibility and understanding of lesser-known alphabets and writing systems, fostering cultural preservation and appreciation for linguistic diversity.
