Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊽ has the Unicode code point U+22BD. 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+22BD to binary:
00100010 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+22BD, known as NOR, plays a significant role in digital text as a mathematical symbol representing the logical NOR operation. In this context, NOR stands for "Not OR" and is used to denote the negation of an inclusive or operation between two binary operands. This symbol is particularly essential in Boolean algebra, programming languages, and circuit design, where it helps determine the truth value of compound statements. U+22BD is also utilized in various computer applications that require precise representation of logical operations for efficient functioning. While this character may not be widely recognized by the general public, it holds a crucial position in the technical realm, particularly among engineers, programmers, and digital text specialists.
