Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊌ has the Unicode code point U+228C. 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+228C to binary:
00100010 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+228C, known as the Multiset (⋂), is a mathematical symbol typically employed in digital text to represent the intersection of sets. It is commonly used in set theory, a branch of mathematics that deals with collections of distinct objects. In this context, the Multiset symbol helps mathematicians and computer scientists define and analyze relationships between various data elements. The character's use extends across multiple fields, including computer science, statistics, and engineering. While it may not have specific cultural or linguistic significance, the Multiset plays a crucial role in the accurate representation of mathematical concepts and the precise communication of ideas within digital text.
