Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟎ has the Unicode code point U+27CE. 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+27CE to binary:
00100111 11001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+27CE represents the "SQUARED LOGICAL AND" symbol (⊧). In digital text, this glyph is primarily utilized to signify a logical conjunction operation, specifically the truth-functional operation of logical AND when applied within a square. Its usage in computer science, engineering, and mathematical contexts provides clarity and precision in expressing complex relationships between logical variables or propositions. While not widely used in everyday language, it remains an important tool for professionals working in disciplines that rely on formal logic or computational operations.
