Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫳ has the Unicode code point U+2AF3. 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+2AF3 to binary:
00101010 11110011. 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 10101011 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+2AF3, known as the "PARALLEL WITH TILDE OPERATOR", is a unique symbol primarily used in digital text for its specific function and representation. This character serves a technical purpose and is not commonly found in everyday language. In linguistic contexts, it may appear in specialized fields such as programming or computer science, where it is often employed to indicate a parallelism between two expressions or elements with an emphasis on their similarity. Despite its relatively niche usage, the PARALLEL WITH TILDE OPERATOR holds significance for those who work in digital text processing, as it helps them convey complex relationships and structures more efficiently. Due to its specialized nature, this character is less likely to have a broad cultural impact, but it remains an essential tool within specific technical contexts.
