Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩙ has the Unicode code point U+2A59. 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+2A59 to binary:
00101010 01011001
. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+2A59, known as the Logical OR Overlapping Logical AND, plays a significant role in digital text. This character is used in logical expressions to represent an operation that combines two sets using both an overlying logical AND and a logical OR operation. In programming and computer science, it is employed primarily within binary or boolean logic systems, allowing for more complex operations to be performed on sets of data. While it may not have any specific cultural or linguistic contexts, its technical application is crucial in fields such as software development, computing, and information technology. The U+2A59 character provides a concise way to express these operations within digital text, streamlining processes and enabling more efficient coding and data manipulation.
