Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟏ has the Unicode code point U+27CF. 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+27CF to binary:
00100111 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+27CF, known as the SQUARED LOGICAL OR, holds a significant role in the realm of digital text. Typically used in mathematical expressions and logic gates, this symbol represents the exclusive disjunction or logical OR operation. In programming languages and computer science, it is utilized to evaluate binary data, determining whether either one operand, but not both, are true. This character is particularly important in applications requiring precise manipulation of Boolean data types. Despite its relatively niche application, the SQUARED LOGICAL OR has a profound impact on computational efficiency, contributing to the foundation of various algorithms and problem-solving processes within software development.
