Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊮ has the Unicode code point U+22AE. 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+22AE to binary:
00100010 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+22AE is a mathematical symbol known as "Does Not Force." It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of mathematics and computer science. This symbol denotes that an operation or function must be performed without any forced action or input. It is often used to represent a conditional statement where certain operations are executed only if specific conditions are met. The Does Not Force symbol is not linked to any particular cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts outside of its mathematical and computational applications. Its primary purpose is to ensure accuracy and precision in the execution of algorithms and mathematical operations within digital text.
