Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⍢ has the Unicode code point U+2362. 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+2362 to binary:
00100011 01100010. 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 10001101 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2362, known as APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL DEL DIAERESIS, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a functional symbol in the field of applied mathematics and computing. It is predominantly used in the APL programming language to represent specific functions or operations. APL, which stands for A Programming Language, was developed by Charles Wheelwright in 1962. The language has a unique feature where it allows its users to perform mathematical calculations through a functional notation system, eliminating the need for parentheses and making it more concise. U+2362 is an essential character within this notation system, as it assists in defining the specific operation or function that is intended to be performed.
