Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ∴ has the Unicode code point U+2234. 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+2234 to binary:
00100010 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2234 represents the mathematical symbol "Therefore". This symbol is widely used in digital text, particularly in mathematics and logic, to denote a conclusion derived from premises or statements. Its use can be traced back to historical mathematical notations where it was employed as an implication operator. In modern usage, it serves as a powerful tool for expressing logical arguments and theorems in various fields such as computer science, engineering, and physics. U+2234 is part of the Mathematical Operators block in Unicode and has been adopted across multiple programming languages and software applications for consistent representation. Its clear and concise visual design makes it an ideal choice for communicating complex ideas and relationships in a compact format.
