Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋎ has the Unicode code point U+22CE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+22CE to binary:
00100010 11001110
. 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 10001011 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+22CE, also known as the Curlly Logical OR symbol (∨), plays a significant role in digital text, specifically in mathematics and computer science. This mathematical logical operator represents the inclusive or operation, which combines two propositions and returns true if at least one of the propositions is true. The Curlly Logical OR has various applications, including set theory, where it determines whether an element belongs to either of the sets involved in the operation. While U+22CE does not have any specific cultural or linguistic significance, its usage in digital text is crucial for accurate expression and comprehension of logical relationships in a wide array of disciplines such as computer science, mathematics, and engineering.
