Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⍓ has the Unicode code point U+2353. 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+2353 to binary:
00100011 01010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2353, also known as the APL Functional Symbol Quad Up Caret, is a specialized mathematical symbol primarily used in digital text for its role in the field of applied mathematics and computer science. It was specifically designed for use within the notation system of the programming language APL (A Programming Language), which heavily relies on symbols rather than standard alphanumeric characters for its syntax. The APL Functional Symbol Quad Up Caret is a critical element in this symbolic notation, as it serves to denote a specific mathematical operation or function within the APL system. While not widely known outside of specialized contexts, this character plays an important role in advanced computational and analytical workflows that utilize APL's unique syntax.
