Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⧢ has the Unicode code point U+29E2. 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+29E2 to binary:
00101001 11100010
. 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 10100111 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+29E2, known as the "Shuffle Product", is primarily used in mathematical equations, specifically within the field of combinatorial mathematics. It represents a specific operation where elements from two sets are combined to form a product. This symbol is particularly useful in digital text, such as in scientific documents, research papers, and computer programs related to mathematics and computer science. While it may not have significant cultural or linguistic context, its technical use is essential for accurate representation of certain mathematical concepts and operations. The Shuffle Product character is an important tool for those who work with combinatorial structures, permutations, and combinations in their research or professional endeavors.
