Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨖ has the Unicode code point U+2A16. 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+2A16 to binary:
00101010 00010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A16, known as the Quaternion Integral Operator, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within mathematical and scientific documents. It is used to denote the integral operation within the context of quaternions, which are a type of complex number that consists of four real parts. The Quaternion Integral Operator is unique as it is used in this specific field of mathematics to differentiate the operation of integration for quaternion variables from its more widely known counterpart in real numbers. This operator helps maintain accuracy and clarity within mathematical expressions, facilitating a better understanding of the concepts being discussed.
