Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⅀ has the Unicode code point U+2140. 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+2140 to binary:
00100001 01000000. 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 10000101 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+2140, known as the Double-struck N-ary Summation (⨺), is a mathematical symbol that represents the sum of a series. It is typically utilized in digital text to denote the summation of an infinite or finite sequence of terms within a specific context. The character's double-struck style provides visual distinction and clarity, making it easily distinguishable from other symbols used in mathematics and computer science. This character is essential for accurate representation in various fields that require precise communication, such as mathematical notation, engineering, and computer programming. It enables readers to quickly grasp the intended concept without confusion or ambiguity.
