Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋂ has the Unicode code point U+22C2. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+22C2 to binary:
00100010 11000010
. 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 10001011 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+22C2 represents the N-ary Intersection (⋂), a mathematical symbol used to denote the intersection of n sets in digital text. Its primary application is within the realm of set theory, where it signifies the common elements shared by multiple sets. This character is vital for precise communication in disciplines like mathematics, computer science, and statistics, as it allows users to express complex relationships among data sets with clarity and accuracy. The N-ary Intersection symbol is often employed in proofs, algorithms, and equations, ensuring that readers can easily discern the intended meaning and manipulations of the text.
