Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊼ has the Unicode code point U+22BC. 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+22BC to binary:
00100010 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+22BC represents the logical NAND operation, which is a fundamental concept in computer science and digital text. It is used to describe a binary operation that returns true (or 1) only if both its operands are false (or 0). This character has significant importance in programming languages, digital logic, and various computing applications due to its role in processing information. The NAND symbol is often seen in the context of Boolean algebra, where it plays a critical part in defining computational processes. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that developers and engineers can communicate complex ideas concisely and accurately using standardized text, thus fostering greater efficiency and clarity within the digital world.
