Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊒ has the Unicode code point U+2292. 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+2292 to binary:
00100010 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
U+2292 is the Unicode character for "SQUARE ORIGINAL OF OR EQUAL TO". This mathematical symbol represents a binary operation that takes as input a square matrix and an operator, and outputs a new matrix which contains the result of applying the operator to each element in the input matrix. It is often used in digital text within the context of linear algebra and matrix operations, particularly in computer science, engineering, and mathematics fields. Due to its specific application within these domains, it does not have notable cultural or linguistic implications. Instead, its use reflects a technical requirement for precision and clarity when discussing matrix transformations and operations.
