Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯗ has the Unicode code point U+2BD7. 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+2BD7 to binary:
00101011 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2BD7, known as TRANSPLUTO, is a unique symbol that holds significance in digital text. It primarily serves as a mathematical operator in programming languages and mathematical expressions, representing the concept of transplantation or exchange between two numbers. This operation allows for the transposition of digits within a number, a process that can be particularly useful in various computational applications. Despite its name suggesting an astronomical or extraterrestrial reference, there is no direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with TRANSPLUTO beyond its role as a specific mathematical operator. Its utility lies mainly in the realms of computer science and programming, making it an essential character for developers and mathematicians working within digital text environments.
