Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩍ has the Unicode code point U+2A4D. 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+2A4D to binary:
00101010 01001101. 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 10101001 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+2A4D represents the "Closed Intersection with Serifs" symbol (⨧). In digital text, this symbol is primarily used to depict an intersection where roads or paths are closed or blocked. This character can be found in various contexts such as maps, street signs, and diagrams illustrating road systems or networks. Although not widely used, it serves a crucial purpose in providing clarity and information in specialized documents. The "Closed Intersection with Serifs" is part of the Miscellaneous Technical (UTF-16) block of Unicode characters, which contains symbols and icons used for technical illustrations. This character has no notable cultural or linguistic significance but is a valuable tool in technical communication, particularly in fields like cartography and transportation engineering.
