Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ∙ has the Unicode code point U+2219. 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+2219 to binary:
00100010 00011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2219, known as the Bullet Operator, serves a specific purpose within digital text. Typically utilized in mathematics and logic, it represents an implication or entailment between two statements. In logical contexts, the bullet operator symbolizes that if the first statement is true, then the second statement must also be true. This operator is commonly found in proofs and logical arguments where precise representation of relationships and conditions is essential. It's crucial to note that U+2219 is not a widely used symbol, but it holds importance in specific fields such as mathematics and computer science due to its ability to clearly denote the relationship between statements.
