Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯲ has the Unicode code point U+2BF2. 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+2BF2 to binary:
00101011 11110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2BF2 is known as SEDNA, a character that holds significant importance in the digital text sphere. While not widely used across various languages and platforms, it does play a crucial role in certain cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. SEDNA's primary application lies within its use in digital typography, where it serves as a unique identifier for specific characters or glyphs in Unicode-based systems. Its rarity is due to the fact that U+2BF2 has been designated as a private-use code point by the Unicode Consortium, meaning its usage is determined by individual organizations rather than being standardized across the industry. As such, SEDNA's primary function lies in enabling businesses and developers to create customized fonts or character sets for specialized applications or industries that require unique typographical elements. Overall, U+2BF2's SEDNA holds a niche yet vital position within the realm of digital text and typography.
