Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ∊ has the Unicode code point U+220A. 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+220A to binary:
00100010 00001010. 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 10001000 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+220A, commonly known as the Small Element of Set Builder (∩), plays a significant role in digital text by representing the mathematical intersection symbol. This operator is widely used in set theory, where it denotes the common elements between two or more sets. The Small Element of Set Builder is not only crucial for academic and scientific fields such as mathematics, computer science, and statistics but also finds applications in various other domains like engineering, economics, and social sciences. Its compact representation allows users to express complex set-theoretic relationships concisely, enhancing the readability and accessibility of technical documents.
