Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫔ has the Unicode code point U+2AD4. 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+2AD4 to binary:
00101010 11010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+2AD4, also known as the Superset Above Subset symbol, is a typographic glyph that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematical and logical contexts. Its primary function is to visually represent the concept of a superset in relation to a subset, illustrating the idea that one set contains all elements of another set while also including additional elements. This symbol is particularly useful in computer science, mathematics, and logic where the concept of sets and their relationships are frequently employed. The Superset Above Subset character helps clarify complex relationships between different sets, enhancing readability and reducing misinterpretation.
