Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋌ has the Unicode code point U+22CC. 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+22CC to binary:
00100010 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+22CC, also known as the Right Semidirect Product symbol, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in mathematics and computer science. It represents the right semidirect product of two groups, which is an operation that combines the concepts of direct product and semidirect product. This character is crucial for accurately conveying mathematical expressions and proofs, as well as for communicating complex ideas in group theory, a branch of abstract algebra. Although U+22CC might not be widely recognized by the general public, it holds immense value within the specialized communities that rely on accurate typographical representation to advance scientific understanding and knowledge.
