Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⌭ has the Unicode code point U+232D. 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+232D to binary:
00100011 00101101. 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 10001100 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+232D, CYLINDRICITY, is a mathematical symbol used to represent the degree of cylindricity in digital text. It plays a significant role in the fields of engineering, geometry, and computer science, where it helps users understand and quantify the roundness or flatness of objects or surfaces. The character is particularly useful in 3D modeling, computer-aided design (CAD), and other technical applications that require precise measurements for geometric calculations. Although not widely recognized in everyday language use, CYLINDRICITY holds great importance within specialized industries and academic contexts, where accuracy in communication of mathematical concepts and data is paramount.
