Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩱ has the Unicode code point U+2A71. 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+2A71 to binary:
00101010 01110001. 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 10101001 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+2A71, known as the "EQUALS SIGN ABOVE PLUS SIGN", is a typographical symbol used in digital text to denote an operation in mathematics or logic. It combines the concepts of equality and addition through its representation, displaying a plus sign (+) with an equals sign (=) above it. This character plays a significant role in various fields such as programming languages, mathematical expressions, and logical formulas where operations need to be represented in a concise manner. Its usage is particularly prevalent in contexts requiring the expression of conditional statements or equations. Despite not having a specific cultural or linguistic background, the EQUALS SIGN ABOVE PLUS SIGN contributes to clearer communication of mathematical and logical concepts, thereby promoting precision and reducing ambiguity in digital text.
