Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫡ has the Unicode code point U+2AE1. 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+2AE1 to binary:
00101010 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+2AE1 represents the symbol "PERPENDICULAR WITH S" in digital text. This typographical mark is used primarily to denote a perpendicular (90-degree) angle in geometric diagrams, maps, or engineering drawings. In certain technical and mathematical contexts, it may also be utilized to represent an intersection of lines at a right angle. Although the character's usage is relatively niche compared to other common symbols, its precision and clarity make it indispensable for professionals in various fields, such as architecture, engineering, and graphic design. There is no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with U+2AE1 beyond its specific role in digital typography and text formatting.
