Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟄ has the Unicode code point U+27C4. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+27C4 to binary:
00100111 11000100
. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+27C4 is known as the OPEN SUPERSET symbol. It is primarily used in digital text to represent an open superset, a concept in mathematics and set theory. In this context, it signifies that one set contains another set along with additional elements. This symbol plays a crucial role in representing complex mathematical relationships and concepts within digital text. While the OPEN SUPERSET symbol may not be widely recognized or used outside of specialized fields like mathematics and computer science, its importance lies in its ability to accurately represent these specific concepts. As digital communication continues to expand and diversify, characters like U+27C4 are increasingly important for maintaining clarity and precision in technical discussions.
