Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊭ has the Unicode code point U+22AD. 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+22AD to binary:
00100010 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+22AD is a rarely used symbol called "Parallel Trees" (⊟). It is primarily employed in computer science and mathematics to represent a binary tree with parallel edges, highlighting the symmetrical nature of tree structures. Although not commonly seen in everyday digital text, it plays an important role in illustrating complex concepts in programming languages and algorithms that deal with hierarchical data structures. While there isn't any specific cultural or linguistic context associated with U+22AD, its presence in technical documents and academic research underscores the value of precise visualization in conveying abstract ideas.
