Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⚞ has the Unicode code point U+269E. 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+269E to binary:
00100110 10011110. 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 10011010 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+269E, known as "THREE LINES CONVERGING RIGHT," is an essential symbol in digital text for representing the concept of convergence or merging of paths. In technical contexts, it is often used to depict three parallel lines that meet at a single point, signifying an intersection, meeting point, or the coming together of separate entities. This character has a significant role in various fields such as mathematics, engineering, physics, and computer science, where it is employed to denote points of convergence or intersections of paths, vectors, or trajectories. Additionally, U+269E can be used in typography to visually enhance the clarity of instructions or diagrams that involve converging elements, aiding readers in understanding complex ideas more easily. Although this character does not have any specific cultural or linguistic significance, its universal nature ensures it is easily recognized and understood across different languages and regions.
