Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟈ has the Unicode code point U+27C8. 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+27C8 to binary:
00100111 11001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+27C8, known as the Reverse Solidus Preceding Subset, is a typographical symbol that plays a crucial role in digital text formatting. This character is often used in mathematical expressions to denote the subset relationship between two sets. In a mathematical context, it is typically placed between two sets to indicate that the first set is a proper subset of the second one. For example, if A and B are two sets, writing "A ⊆ B" would imply that all elements of A are also in B, although not necessarily vice versa. This symbol is particularly useful in computer science, mathematics, and other disciplines where set theory is widely employed. While the character is not commonly used in everyday language or text, it serves a vital purpose in precise and accurate communication within its specific fields.
