Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ∵ has the Unicode code point U+2235. 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+2235 to binary:
00100010 00110101. 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 10001000 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2235, known as "BECAUSE", is a mathematical symbol that is commonly used in various mathematical expressions, especially in proofs. It represents the concept of cause and effect or reasoning, which is fundamental to mathematics and logic. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in conveying complex ideas and relationships more succinctly. Although not as widely known as other mathematical symbols, the BECAUSE symbol has its own unique significance within the realm of abstract thinking. Its usage stems from the need for a concise way to express the idea of "because" or "causal reasoning" in a formal, mathematical context.
