Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩨ has the Unicode code point U+2A68. 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+2A68 to binary:
00101010 01101000. 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 10101001 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2A68, known as the Triple Horizontal Bar with Double Vertical Stroke (⊕⊕), primarily serves a functional role in digital text. It is typically used to represent a custom symbol or glyph within specific contexts where standard characters do not suffice. In some cases, it may be employed to create visual separation or emphasis in text, particularly when designing mathematical equations or diagrams. However, there are no significant cultural, linguistic, or technical associations tied to this character, as its usage is relatively limited and depends on individual preference or design requirements. Overall, the Triple Horizontal Bar with Double Vertical Stroke is an obscure and niche character within the vast landscape of Unicode characters, primarily serving a functional role in specific contexts rather than carrying significant cultural or linguistic weight.
