Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨼ has the Unicode code point U+2A3C. 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+2A3C to binary:
00101010 00111100
. 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 10101000 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+2A3C, known as the "INTERIOR PRODUCT" symbol, plays a significant role in mathematical notation and digital text representation. It is primarily used to denote an interior product of two elements within the field of algebra and topology. This specific character is indispensable for mathematicians and researchers, allowing them to accurately convey complex concepts that involve the interaction of different sets or groups. The INTERIOR PRODUCT symbol, while not culturally or linguistically significant in a traditional sense, has technical importance within specialized fields of study, enhancing clarity and precision in mathematical expressions and equations.
