Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊷ has the Unicode code point U+22B7. 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+22B7 to binary:
00100010 10110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+22B7 is designated as the "Image of" symbol. This character is commonly used in mathematical expressions and digital texts to represent an image or visual depiction of a concept, variable, or idea. It is primarily found within mathematical contexts, where it helps distinguish between variables that are purely algebraic and those that have a more concrete, visual component. The "Image of" symbol has no cultural, linguistic, or technical significance outside of its specific use in these settings, making it a specialized tool for mathematicians and other professionals working with visual representations of abstract concepts. Its role is to enhance clarity and avoid ambiguity in complex mathematical expressions.
