Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩞ has the Unicode code point U+2A5E. 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+2A5E to binary:
00101010 01011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A5E represents the LOGICAL AND WITH DOUBLE OVERBAR symbol. This typographic character is primarily used in digital text for its specific mathematical and logical representation. It serves to denote a logical conjunction that implies a strict equivalence relationship between two binary values or propositions, where both values must be true simultaneously for the conjunction to hold true. The double overbar above the symbol visually emphasizes this strictness of the logical operation. While it may not have a direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the LOGICAL AND WITH DOUBLE OVERBAR is essential in mathematical and programming applications that rely on precise binary logic operations. Its role is vital in ensuring accuracy and clarity when conveying complex logical relationships within digital text formats.
