Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩩ has the Unicode code point U+2A69. 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+2A69 to binary:
00101010 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2A69 is known as the "Triple Horizontal Bar with Triple Vertical Stroke". This character does not have a typical usage in digital text like other symbols. It falls under the category of mathematical and technical symbols and could be used in specialized fields such as engineering, physics, or computer programming where unconventional symbols are required to represent specific concepts. The character is part of the Unicode 4.1.0 standard and was added to provide a unique symbol for this particular combination of lines and bars. It does not hold any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, but it serves as a visual tool to distinguish specific ideas or elements in certain niche domains.
