Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2B74. 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+2B74 to binary:
00101011 01110100. 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 10101101 10110100

Description
U+2B74 is a unique Unicode character with the code point 2B74. It is typically used in digital text to represent a specific mathematical symbol known as the "Upward-pointing small triangle" or "Right-pointing small triangle with apex upward". This symbol holds significant importance in various fields, including mathematics and computer programming. In mathematical contexts, it often signifies an upper limit or bound for a range of values. For example, it is frequently employed within set theory to denote the subset relationship between two sets. In programming, it may be used as a shorthand operator for specifying certain operations or conditions. Despite its limited use in everyday text, U+2B74 serves an essential role within these specialized contexts, demonstrating the rich diversity of characters available within the Unicode standard to meet specific needs.
