Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥽ has the Unicode code point U+297D. 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+297D to binary:
00101001 01111101. 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 10100101 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+297D, known as the "RIGHT FISH TAIL," holds a unique position within the vast realm of typography. As a part of the Unified Commercial Provider for India (UCP-India) extension, it is primarily used in digital text to represent the visual component of the right tail of the Devanagari script, an abugida predominantly used in Hindi and several other Indian languages. This character ensures precise typographical representation, helping maintain the accuracy and integrity of texts written in these scripts. Although its usage may appear niche, it plays a vital role in preserving linguistic and cultural authenticity by providing a platform for digital communication that remains true to traditional forms. In this way, U+297D contributes to the rich tapestry of global typography, celebrating the diversity and complexity of human language.
