Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊦ has the Unicode code point U+22A6. 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+22A6 to binary:
00100010 10100110. 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 10001010 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+22A6 represents the mathematical symbol for assertion, also known as the double colon (::). This symbol is commonly used in digital text, particularly within mathematical and computational contexts, to indicate that a statement or hypothesis should be taken as true without proof. While it may seem like a simple punctuation mark, its use can significantly impact the meaning of a statement or equation in mathematical discourse. The assertion symbol has cultural, linguistic, and technical significance across various domains such as computer programming, logic, and mathematics, where clear and precise communication of ideas is crucial. Its usage promotes clarity in these fields by distinguishing an assumed truth from a proven fact, facilitating effective collaboration among experts.
