Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩠ has the Unicode code point U+2A60. 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+2A60 to binary:
00101010 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+2A60, known as the Logical AND with Double Underscore, is a specialized symbol used in digital text for various programming and mathematical applications. It is employed to denote a logical AND operation with additional emphasis due to the presence of two underscores (_) beneath it. This particular representation can be found in computer science and engineering contexts, where it serves as an operator that returns true only when both operands are true. Its role is crucial for binary decision-making processes in algorithms and programming languages. The character is not tied to any specific cultural or linguistic tradition, but rather serves a universal technical function within the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent all characters used across the world's written languages.
