Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫮ has the Unicode code point U+2AEE. 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+2AEE to binary:
00101010 11101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+2AEE, known as the "DOES NOT DIVIDE WITH REVERSED NEGATION SLASH", holds a unique position in digital text for its specific application within mathematical and scientific fields. It is not typically used in everyday text or communication but serves a critical purpose in symbolic representations of division operations. In these domains, it is commonly employed to denote the concept that an operation or expression does not divide with a reversed negation slash. This specialized usage underscores the importance of precise and accurate language within technical and mathematical contexts. While its application might be relatively niche, U+2AEE remains a vital character in the extensive Unicode system, demonstrating the power of standardized symbols to foster clarity and precision across diverse fields.
