Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨮ has the Unicode code point U+2A2E. 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+2A2E to binary:
00101010 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A2E is known as the Plus Sign in Right Half Circle. This typographical symbol is primarily used in digital text for its unique appearance, which consists of a plus sign enclosed within a right half circle. While it might not have specific linguistic or cultural contexts, the Plus Sign in Right Half Circle can be utilized to add an element of visual interest or uniqueness to written content. The character may also find applications in technical documents, diagrams, or mathematical equations where standard plus signs might appear too commonplace or monotonous. However, its usage is not widespread and it remains a niche symbol within the vast landscape of Unicode characters.
