Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⎮ has the Unicode code point U+23AE. 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+23AE to binary:
00100011 10101110. 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 10001110 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+23AE is known as the "INTEGRAL EXTENSION". This symbol is primarily used in mathematical equations to signify the extension of an integral from a lower limit to a specified upper limit, usually within the context of calculus or other advanced mathematics. It is often employed alongside the Greek letter pi (π), which represents the constant ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter. U+23AE plays a crucial role in digital text for its ability to communicate complex mathematical concepts with precision, contributing significantly to clarity and reducing misinterpretation within academic or technical contexts. Despite its importance in certain domains, this character is relatively less known and used compared to other mathematical symbols.
