Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨨ has the Unicode code point U+2A28. 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+2A28 to binary:
00101010 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2A28, known as the Plus Sign with Black Triangle (⩷), is a relatively rare typographical symbol that combines a plus sign (+) and a black triangle. In digital text, this character often serves to indicate an operation or action involving both addition and some form of triangulation or directional movement. Although it doesn't have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with its usage, the Plus Sign with Black Triangle can be found in mathematical equations, engineering diagrams, or scientific notations where the combination of these symbols is relevant. Despite being less commonly used compared to other Unicode characters, U+2A28 offers a unique visual element that can enhance the clarity and understanding of certain concepts in specific contexts.
