Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ∦ has the Unicode code point U+2226. 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+2226 to binary:
00100010 00100110. 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 10001000 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+2226, "⊦", is known as NOT PARALLEL TO. This mathematical symbol is primarily used in digital text to denote a relationship between two elements that are not parallel to each other. It is often employed in geometry, trigonometry, and other branches of mathematics where the concept of parallelism is crucial. While it may not have any specific cultural or linguistic significance, U+2226 serves as an essential tool for clear communication of mathematical concepts in digital text. Its accurate and precise usage ensures that readers can easily understand complex geometric relationships without confusion.
