Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫐ has the Unicode code point U+2AD0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2AD0 to binary:
00101010 11010000
. 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 10101011 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2AD0 is known as the "CLOSED SUPERSET" symbol. It is a typographical character that holds significant importance in digital text, especially within mathematical and scientific documents. Its primary role lies in illustrating relationships between sets of data. In such contexts, it's often used to indicate that a set (denoted by a circle with a horizontal line through the top) contains all elements from another set, thus forming a "closed superset." This concept is crucial in fields like computer science, mathematics, and information theory. The symbol serves as a clear visual representation of this relationship, thereby improving readability and comprehension for readers familiar with these concepts. As part of the Unicode Standard, it allows for consistent rendering across various platforms and devices, ensuring universal access to its meaning and function.
