Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯺ has the Unicode code point U+2BFA. 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+2BFA to binary:
00101011 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+2BFA, known as the UNITED SYMBOL, is a specialized glyph used primarily in digital text for representing the concept of unity, coherence, or connection between entities. This symbol often finds its application in contexts that require denoting unity, such as in various fields like mathematics, computer science, and engineering. However, it doesn't have any direct linguistic significance in cultural or traditional languages. The UNITED SYMBOL is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block in Unicode, which consists of characters used for specific technical purposes or representing special symbols. It's important to note that this character may not be widely recognized outside of specific technical fields and its usage should be considered within the context of its intended purpose.
