Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥘ has the Unicode code point U+2958. 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+2958 to binary:
00101001 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2958, known as the "UPWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB LEFT TO BAR," is a specialized typographical symbol that primarily finds its use in digital text for mathematical notation, specifically within the field of abstract algebra. It represents an upward-pointing harpoon with its barb pointing to the left and a vertical bar extending from its tip. In this context, it serves as a visual aid to denote specific relationships and operations between elements in a mathematical expression or equation. While not widely recognized in everyday linguistic or cultural usage, its precise technical significance contributes to clarity and accuracy within specialized fields of study.
