Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋣ has the Unicode code point U+22E3. 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+22E3 to binary:
00100010 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+22E3 is a typographical character called the "NOT SQUARE" symbol. It is an important mathematical symbol used in digital text for representing the square operation when it is not applicable. This character, which falls within the General Punctuation Unicode category, is crucial for precise mathematical expressions and equations in various fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science. The use of U+22E3 allows for clear communication of concepts that cannot be achieved through the use of a square or equal sign. It is especially useful when expressing the idea of an operation being undefined or not applicable, adding clarity to complex mathematical statements and equations.
