Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫣ has the Unicode code point U+2AE3. 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+2AE3 to binary:
00101010 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+2AE3 is a less commonly used Unicode character, the "DOUBLE VERTICAL BAR LEFT TURNSTILE". In terms of digital text usage, it can be found in programming languages or in contexts where symbolic representation is necessary, often representing concepts like gates and barriers. It's not tied to any specific cultural or linguistic tradition; rather, its use tends to be more technical or symbolic, akin to mathematical symbols or punctuation. It's typically used in digital text for its distinct visual appearance, serving as an alternative to the standard vertical bar (|) character. However, it doesn't have any special properties in terms of precedence or priority compared to other characters, and there aren't many instances where its usage would be more efficient or clear than using a regular vertical bar.
