Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨩ has the Unicode code point U+2A29. 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+2A29 to binary:
00101010 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2A29, also known as the MINUS SIGN WITH COMMA ABOVE, plays a significant role in digital text by providing an additional layer of visual distinction for mathematical symbols. Typically used within the realm of mathematical notation and computational contexts, this character is frequently employed to denote subtraction operations in equations or calculations. Its unique appearance, featuring a standard minus sign (–) adorned with a comma-like symbol above it, helps to distinguish it from other similar characters such as the regular hyphen (-), which is typically used for connecting words and phrases in written text. As an essential component of modern typography, U+2A29 contributes to the clarity and precision of mathematical expressions in various fields, including science, engineering, finance, and education.
