Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩟ has the Unicode code point U+2A5F. 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+2A5F to binary:
00101010 01011111
. 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 10011111

Description
The character U+2A5F, also known as LOGICAL AND WITH UNDERBAR, is a typographical symbol that serves a specific purpose in digital text. It is primarily used in logical expressions and formulas within programming languages, mathematical equations, and computer science contexts. The underbar serves as a visual separator or divider, enhancing the readability and distinction between different elements within an expression. Although it does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its function as a logical operator, it plays a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and clarity in text that employs logical operations. As digital communication continues to expand, the LOGICAL AND WITH UNDERBAR remains a vital tool for ensuring precision and understanding within various fields of technology and mathematics.
