Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩐ has the Unicode code point U+2A50. 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+2A50 to binary:
00101010 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+2A50 is the Unicode character for "CLOSED UNION WITH SERIFS AND SMASH PRODUCT." In digital text, this character serves a unique role as an abstract symbol that combines geometric shapes with a touch of ornamentation. It features a closed union, which refers to the interlocking of two shapes or forms, and serifs, the small decorative strokes commonly found in traditional typography. The "smash" aspect of the character indicates the potential for impact or collision between the interlocked elements. Although U+2A50 does not have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, its versatility allows it to be used as a creative and expressive element across various digital platforms. By incorporating this character in digital text, designers can add depth, complexity, and visual interest to their work, enhancing the overall experience for users while demonstrating expertise in Unicode and typography.
