Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⨲ has the Unicode code point U+2A32. 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+2A32 to binary:
00101010 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2A32, also known as SEMIDIRECT PRODUCT WITH BOTTOM CLOSED, is a specialized symbol used in digital text to represent a specific mathematical operation. Its primary role is within the context of formal language systems and algebraic structures where it denotes a particular type of semidirect product, which is a combination of two groups that preserves the group structure but not necessarily the action. Although its usage is quite niche and primarily relevant for mathematicians and computer scientists, U+2A32 plays an important role in accurately representing complex mathematical concepts in digital text format. There isn't any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its application in these specific fields, making it a highly specialized character within the vast Unicode character set.
