Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨦ has the Unicode code point U+2A26. 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+2A26 to binary:
00101010 00100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A26, referred to as the "Plus Sign with Tilde Below", is a typographical symbol that finds its primary application in digital text communications. This unique glyph serves as an alteration of the standard plus sign (+), incorporating a tilde (~) beneath it, which gives it a distinctive visual appeal and can be employed to convey specific technical or cultural nuances. In certain programming languages and mathematical notations, this symbol might represent a particular operation or variable, highlighting its importance in both linguistic and technical contexts. While the usage of U+2A26 may be less prevalent compared to more widely recognized characters, its unique design can contribute to a richer typographic landscape in digital communications.
