Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⍩ has the Unicode code point U+2369. 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+2369 to binary:
00100011 01101001
. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2369, also known as the APL Functional Symbol Greater-Than Diaeresis, plays a significant role in digital text communication, particularly within mathematical and computational disciplines. Its primary function is to denote a greater-than relationship with a diaeresis marking, enabling precise expression of mathematical or logical statements. This symbol is commonly used in the APL programming language, which relies heavily on such characters for succinct representation of complex operations. As an essential tool in various fields like mathematics, computer science, and engineering, the U+2369 character aids in conveying accurate and concise information, contributing to the progression of knowledge in these disciplines.
