Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟨ has the Unicode code point U+27E8. 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+27E8 to binary:
00100111 11101000. 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 10011111 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+27E8, known as the Mathematical Left Angle Bracket, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematical and scientific contexts. It is commonly used to denote inclusions or subsets in set theory and logic. Its primary function is to represent the less-than symbol (<) in an upright, open-ended style, visually indicating that the content enclosed by it is part of a larger set. This character's utility spans across various fields, including computer programming, data analysis, and mathematical notation systems. Despite its specialized use, U+27E8 remains a crucial tool for clear and concise communication in these domains, ensuring accurate representation of relationships between sets and values.
