Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨉ has the Unicode code point U+2A09. 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+2A09 to binary:
00101010 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2A09, known as the N-ARY TIMES OPERATOR, is a rarely used symbol in digital text that represents multiplication across multiple dimensions. Typically employed within mathematical expressions or scientific notation, this operator allows for more complex calculations than traditional binary (two-dimensional) multiplication. Despite its infrequent use, it holds significance in the realm of advanced mathematics and computer programming, where it serves as a valuable tool for expressing multiplying across non-binary dimensions.
