Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪽ has the Unicode code point U+2ABD. 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+2ABD to binary:
00101010 10111101
. 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 10101010 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+2ABD represents "SUBSET WITH DOT" in typography and is used to denote a subset of a given set within digital text. This symbol is particularly useful for mathematical notation, where it illustrates the relationship between two sets, indicating that one set is completely included within another set. The usage of this character is primarily seen in fields such as mathematics, computer science, and logic, where precise representation of relationships between elements or concepts is crucial. Although it may not be a widely recognized symbol for general audiences, it holds significant importance in these specialized areas. It can be combined with other Unicode characters to represent various set operations, including union, intersection, and complementation. The SUBSET WITH DOT character plays an important role in digital text by visually representing complex relationships between elements, enhancing clarity and accuracy within the context of mathematical equations or logical expressions.
