Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊕ has the Unicode code point U+2295. 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+2295 to binary:
00100010 10010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2295, known as CIRCLED PLUS, is a unique symbol that serves an important role in digital text. It represents the mathematical operation of addition when enclosed within parentheses or above another mathematical symbol. This circular plus sign can be used to denote a specific type of operation, often in algebraic expressions or mathematical equations. The CIRCLED PLUS character is commonly employed in fields such as mathematics, engineering, and computer science where precise notation and clear representation of operations are essential. Its use allows for better differentiation between addition and other operators in complex equations and formulas, enhancing readability and reducing the likelihood of errors. Despite its relatively obscure status compared to other mathematical symbols, the CIRCLED PLUS remains an important tool for clarity and precision within digital text.
