Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⍹ has the Unicode code point U+2379. 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+2379 to binary:
00100011 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2379, also known as APL Functional Symbol Omega Underbar, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for mathematical and computational purposes. It finds its application in the field of applied mathematics, particularly within the context of the programming language APL (A Programming Language). This character represents a specific type of functional notation where a variable or parameter is being passed under an expression or operation. As a part of the extended Latin-1 Supplement block of Unicode characters, it provides a valuable tool for those in fields such as computer science, mathematics, and engineering, enabling precise expression of complex concepts and calculations.
