Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨝ has the Unicode code point U+2A1D. 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+2A1D to binary:
00101010 00011101. 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 10101000 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2A1D, known as the "Join" symbol, is a typographical glyph primarily used in digital text to indicate the juncture between two lines of text or graphic elements. This character often appears in typesetting and layout design, where it helps maintain consistency and alignment of adjacent elements within a composition. The Join symbol has no specific cultural or linguistic context, but its use can be found in various technical applications such as computer programming languages and markup languages like HTML and XML. In these contexts, the character assists with the proper formatting and structuring of code, ensuring clarity and legibility for both developers and end-users. While not widely known or commonly used outside of specific industries, the U+2A1D Join symbol plays a crucial role in maintaining order and coherence within digitally presented text and graphics.
