Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤬ has the Unicode code point U+292C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+292C to binary:
00101001 00101100
. 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 10100100 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+292C, known as the "Falling Diagonal Crossing Rising Diagonal" symbol, is a less commonly used typographical element that plays an important role in digital text representation. Primarily utilized within mathematical equations and formulas, it serves to visually represent a concept or relationship between elements that involves two intersecting diagonals - one falling and the other rising. This specific character contributes to the precision and clarity of complex mathematical and scientific notations, making it an invaluable tool for professionals and students alike within these disciplines. Despite its less widespread usage in comparison to more commonly seen typographical elements, U+292C holds a significant place in the realm of digital text, ensuring accuracy and clarity in specialized fields that require such sophisticated symbols.
