Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊪ has the Unicode code point U+22AA. 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+22AA to binary:
00100010 10101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+22AA is known as the TRIPLE VERTICAL BAR RIGHT TURNSTILE. In its typical usage, it serves as a symbol in digital text for representing a right turnstile, which consists of three vertical bars stacked on top of each other. While this character might not be widely recognized in everyday language use, it is essential in specific technical and mathematical contexts. It often appears in set theory to denote the right turnstile implication, symbolizing "if P, then Q," where P and Q are propositions. In this context, the symbol helps mathematicians and logicians express relationships between statements in a concise manner. Although it may not have significant cultural or linguistic implications, the TRIPLE VERTICAL BAR RIGHT TURNSTILE plays a critical role in ensuring clarity and precision within the specialized fields of set theory and mathematical logic.
