Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥠ has the Unicode code point U+2960. 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+2960 to binary:
00101001 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+2960 is a character in the Unicode standard, known as the "UPWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB LEFT FROM BAR". It is primarily used in digital text for mathematical notation or to depict specific symbols within technical documents. This character does not have any significant cultural, linguistic, or artistic associations and serves mainly a functional purpose in the context of typography. The usage of U+2960 is rather niche as it isn't part of commonly used fonts or symbols, making its application quite specific in digital text.
