Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭄ has the Unicode code point U+2B44. 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+2B44 to binary:
00101011 01000100
. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+2B44, known as the "RIGHTWARDS ARROW THROUGH SUPERSET", plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within mathematical and computer science fields. Its primary usage is to represent the concept of "rightwards arrow through superset" in expressions or equations, denoting an arrow pointing rightward with a diagonal line running from top-left to bottom-right, illustrating the relationship between two sets, where the target set is a proper subset of the source set. This character has no specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its mathematical and scientific applications, making it an essential tool for accurate representation in digital text within these fields. It is vital to avoid fluff and focus on accuracy when using this symbol, as misinterpretation or incorrect usage can lead to confusion or errors in complex mathematical expressions or algorithms.
