Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫼ has the Unicode code point U+2AFC. 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+2AFC to binary:
00101010 11111100
. 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:

Description
U+2AFC, the Large Triple Vertical Bar Operator, is a character in the Unicode standard that serves a specific function within digital text. It is typically used in mathematics and computer science to denote a particular type of operation or process. The character represents a triple vertical bar operator, which indicates an operation that occurs over three separate elements or dimensions. In mathematical contexts, the Large Triple Vertical Bar Operator can be used as a delimiter or separator for different types of operations. It helps to distinguish between the different steps in a multi-step equation or process. For example, it might be used in computer algorithms to separate three distinct actions that must occur sequentially. The Large Triple Vertical Bar Operator is not tied to any particular culture or language, but its usage can vary depending on the context in which it is applied. In programming languages and mathematical notation, its application may be dictated by the specific syntax rules of that language or notation system. As such, the character serves as a versatile tool within digital text, providing clarity and structure to complex processes and equations.
