Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⍯ has the Unicode code point U+236F. 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+236F to binary:
00100011 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+236F represents the APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL QUAD NOT EQUAL (⊄). This symbol is primarily used in digital text for mathematical equations and programming languages, specifically within the context of the APL programming language. It serves as a functional symbol that signifies inequality between two variables or values. The character is derived from the APL (Array Programming Language) developed by Kenneth E. Iverson in the 1960s, which was designed to improve computational efficiency and human productivity in data manipulation and analysis. Despite not being widely used outside of specialized domains, U+236F remains an important character in its niche areas due to its role in mathematical expression and programming.
