Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨽ has the Unicode code point U+2A3D. 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+2A3D to binary:
00101010 00111101
. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+2A3D, known as the RIGHTHAND INTERIOR PRODUCT, is a mathematical symbol that represents the interior product of two elements within digital text. It is primarily used in mathematical expressions to denote the operation of computing the inner product or dot product of two vectors or tensors. The character is not widely used outside of specialized mathematical contexts and does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its specific application. However, it remains an essential tool for mathematicians, engineers, and scientists who require precise representation of complex mathematical operations in their digital text communications.
