Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩑ has the Unicode code point U+2A51. 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+2A51 to binary:
00101010 01010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2A51, known as the Logical AND with Dot Above (⧡), is a typographical symbol primarily utilized in digital text for mathematical expressions and logical operations. It represents the conjunction of two or more statements, similar to the ampersand (&) or intersection operator in set theory. Despite not being widely used in everyday language, it holds significance in specific technical and mathematical contexts due to its distinct visual appearance. The dot above the character further emphasizes its function as a logical operation symbol rather than a general punctuation mark.
