Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D71. 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+2D71 to binary:
00101101 01110001. 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 10110101 10110001

Description
U+2D71, also known as the character "❂", is a typographical symbol commonly used in digital text to represent a double circle or two interlocking circles. In its typical usage, this symbol serves various purposes, such as denoting a doubled version of a particular entity, indicating a pair or duo, or representing an element with two distinct parts. The character holds significance in mathematical and technical contexts, often being used to denote a double integral or a binary operation. It also finds usage in certain typographic styles, where it might represent a pair of elements, or in artistic and design applications for aesthetic reasons. Despite its ubiquity in digital text, the symbol does not belong to any particular language or cultural context. Its use is predominantly determined by the needs of the specific application or design in which it appears.
