Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨁ has the Unicode code point U+2A01. 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+2A01 to binary:
00101010 00000001
. 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 10101000 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+2A01, known as the N-ARY CIRCLED PLUS OPERATOR, holds a significant position in digital typography. This symbol is commonly used to represent an operation involving multiple elements or variables where each element contributes an equal amount towards the result. It is typically employed in mathematical equations and formulas that involve addition across several entities. The character has not been heavily integrated into cultural contexts and does not possess linguistic relevance beyond its role as a mathematic operator. Its primary purpose remains technical, providing a clear way to illustrate complex summations and operations in digital text.
