Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩝ has the Unicode code point U+2A5D. 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+2A5D to binary:
00101010 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2A5D, known as the Logical OR with Horizontal Dash, is a symbol used primarily in digital text for its mathematical significance. In this role, it represents a logical disjunction operation, which means it is utilized to determine if either of two conditions or values is true. It's commonly found in programming languages and computer logic systems where binary operations are performed. Despite being seldom seen outside of these specific fields, the character plays an essential part in digital text processing, enabling complex calculations and decision-making processes in software applications. The Logical OR with Horizontal Dash serves as a crucial component for developers and programmers dealing with binary data and logical expressions, making it an indispensable tool in modern computing systems.
