Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩄ has the Unicode code point U+2A44. 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+2A44 to binary:
00101010 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+2A44, the INTERSECTION WITH LOGICAL AND character, is a vital symbol in computer programming and digital text. It plays an essential role in defining logical operations within code, primarily used in programming languages such as C and Pascal. The character represents the binary logical AND operation, combining two bits of information and returning a value of true only when both input values are true. This operator is crucial for implementing conditional statements and control flow in programming, making it indispensable for developers worldwide. Despite its technical nature, U+2A44 remains an underappreciated character within the broader scope of Unicode, but its significance cannot be overstated in the realm of digital text and computer science.
