Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊓ has the Unicode code point U+2293. 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+2293 to binary:
00100010 10010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2293 is known as the "SQUARE CAP" (⊚). In digital text, this symbol typically represents a mathematical operation known as the "upper square bracket," which is used to denote sets or collections in mathematics. It is frequently employed in various fields of study such as computer science, engineering, and physics where concepts like sets, vectors, and matrices are prevalent. While the SQUARE CAP may appear similar to the left square bracket ([), it is distinct and serves a specific purpose within the realm of mathematical notation.
