Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊺ has the Unicode code point U+22BA. 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+22BA to binary:
00100010 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+22BA is known as the "Intercalate" symbol. In the realm of digital text, it holds a significant role in mathematical equations, particularly in set theory. It is commonly used to denote the operation of "intersection," which refers to finding common elements between two or more sets. Mathematically, the Intercalate symbol indicates that an intersection should be taken between the given sets. Although the character doesn't hold a specific cultural or linguistic significance, it plays an indispensable role in various branches of mathematics, computer science, and information technology where set operations are prevalent. Its precise use and application contribute to accurate and efficient problem-solving processes in these fields.
