Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨭ has the Unicode code point U+2A2D. 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+2A2D to binary:
00101010 00101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+2A2D, also known as the Plus Sign in Left Half Circle, is a typographical character that plays an essential role in digital text. It combines two elements: the plus sign (+), a mathematical symbol used to indicate addition, and a left half circle, which adds a decorative touch to the symbol. The U+2A2D character can be used for both functional and aesthetic purposes, offering versatility in design and communication. Although it may not have a notable cultural or linguistic significance, its unique appearance makes it an attractive option for use in various contexts where a standard plus sign might be considered too mundane or ordinary. The U+2A2D character is encoded in the Unicode Standard, ensuring its consistency across different digital platforms and applications, and can be easily incorporated into text using HTML or CSS code.
