Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩜ has the Unicode code point U+2A5C. 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+2A5C to binary:
00101010 01011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+2A5C Logical AND with Horizontal Dash is a rare typographical character that serves an important purpose in certain digital text applications. Its primary role lies within the realm of formal logic systems, where it represents the logical conjunction "and" or truth-functional "AND." In these contexts, the character signifies that both operands must be true for the entire expression to hold true. While this Unicode character may not have a significant cultural or linguistic presence, it remains essential in technical applications where precise representation of logical operations is crucial. It helps to avoid potential misinterpretations and ambiguities in programming languages, digital text manipulation, and mathematical expressions that rely on accurate depiction of logical conjunctions.
