Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊎ has the Unicode code point U+228E. 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+228E to binary:
00100010 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+228E, known as the Multiset Union, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a symbol representing the union of multiple sets. This operator is typically used in mathematical expressions and formal logic to indicate that an element belongs to at least one set among those combined. Its primary application lies within the realm of computer science, mathematics, and theoretical fields where logical operations and set theory are fundamental concepts. The Multiset Union does not have any specific cultural or linguistic context, but its technical relevance in various domains, including programming languages and software development, makes it an essential element for clear communication and precise instruction.
