Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊾ has the Unicode code point U+22BE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+22BE to binary:
00100010 10111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+22BE is known as the "Right Angle with Arc" symbol. It has a vital role in mathematical notation, particularly in geometry, where it denotes an arc segment that makes a right angle. In digital text, it's often used to illustrate relationships between angles and arcs within mathematical equations or geometric diagrams. The character is part of the Mathematical Operators block in Unicode, which includes various symbols used for mathematical expressions. Its precise usage is essential for clarity in mathematical and technical documents, ensuring readers can accurately interpret geometrical concepts and calculations.
