Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯴ has the Unicode code point U+2BF4. 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+2BF4 to binary:
00101011 11110100. 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 10110100

This symbol is primarily used in digital text, particularly within the context of astrology, to denote a specific duration in the study of planetary cycles. The term "Novile" refers to a period of time equal to nine tropical zodiac signs or approximately 270 degrees (165 days), which was historically used by Russian and Slavic astrologers for predicting planetary positions. In modern usage, the Novile symbol serves as a specialized term within the field of astrology, providing a cultural and historical context to the practice. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that it can be accurately represented and utilized across various digital platforms and languages, contributing to the preservation of this esoteric terminology for future generations.
