Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊢ has the Unicode code point U+22A2. 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+22A2 to binary:
00100010 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+22A2 represents the RIGHT TACK in digital text. It is a mathematical symbol used to denote a change of direction in an equation or a line. Its primary usage lies within equations, particularly in algebraic expressions, where it signifies a change from one part of the equation to another. The right tack is not widely used outside of mathematics and technical writing, making its occurrence relatively rare in general text. Despite this, the character remains an important tool for clear communication in specific contexts. Due to its specialized nature, the right tack does not have any notable cultural or linguistic significance beyond its role as a mathematical symbol.
