Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩛ has the Unicode code point U+2A5B. 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+2A5B to binary:
00101010 01011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+2A5B, known as "LOGICAL OR WITH MIDDLE STEM", is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in digital text to represent the logical operation of inclusive or. This character plays a crucial role in mathematical and computer science contexts, where it is utilized to denote a specific type of logical operation that combines two binary values, allowing for more complex computations and problem-solving. The middle stem of this symbol is distinct from other logical symbols, adding to its unique visual identity and making it easily recognizable among typographers and professionals in fields such as mathematics, computer science, and programming.
