Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⍃ has the Unicode code point U+2343. 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+2343 to binary:
00100011 01000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2343, also known as the APL Functional Symbol Quad Less-Than, is a specialized mathematical symbol primarily used in digital text for advanced mathematical computations and applications within the field of applied mathematics. This particular symbol is derived from the notation system of the programming-oriented mathematical language APL (A Programming Language), which was developed by Kenneth E. Iverson in the 1960s. In APL, symbols like U+2343 are used to represent a variety of mathematical operations and functions, allowing for concise and efficient representation of complex mathematical expressions. The APL Functional Symbol Quad Less-Than symbol is a vital component of this language, serving as an important tool in the field of applied mathematics, computer science, and data analysis.
