Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫍ has the Unicode code point U+2ACD. 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+2ACD to binary:
00101010 11001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+2ACD, known as the Square Left Open Box Operator, is a typographical symbol used primarily in mathematical expressions and digital text for representing specific operations or structures. In digital texts and mathematical notation, this character typically serves as an operator within a square root function. It is often employed alongside numeric values to indicate the square root of a number. For instance, when followed by a digit or expression enclosed in parentheses, it signifies the square root of that value, such as "√(16)". The Square Left Open Box Operator holds no direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its role within mathematical expressions and digital text representations. Its use is essential for accurate and clear communication of mathematical concepts, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
