Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋀ has the Unicode code point U+22C0. 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+22C0 to binary:
00100010 11000000
. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+22C0, known as N-ARY LOGICAL AND, is a typographical symbol used to represent logical conjunction in mathematical and digital text expressions. It serves as an alternative to the more commonly used binary logical AND operator (&) and provides a versatile tool for expressing complex logical operations involving multiple operands. This character's utility transcends linguistic boundaries and is widely recognized across various programming languages and computer systems, making it a crucial component of modern digital communication and computation. As an essential element in the realm of computer science and mathematics, U+22C0 continues to play a significant role in facilitating precise and efficient logical operations in both theoretical and practical applications.
