Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⍧ has the Unicode code point U+2367. 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+2367 to binary:
00100011 01100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2367 represents the "APL Functional Symbol Left Shoe Stile" and is primarily utilized within the realm of digital text. This symbol has a specific role in expressing APL (Automatic Programming Language) functional symbols, which are used for mathematical and computational purposes. The APL language was created by British mathematician, computer scientist, and polymath Alfred George Hubbard in 1962, with its syntax focusing on array programming. Despite the name "Left Shoe Stile," this character does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its role in APL. U+2367 is a relatively obscure character within Unicode, but it holds importance for those who work with or study APL and other functional programming languages that utilize this specific symbol set.
