Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫖ has the Unicode code point U+2AD6. 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+2AD6 to binary:
00101010 11010110. 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 10010110

Description
The character U+2AD6, known as the "Superset Above Superset" (SAS), holds a significant role within the realm of Unicode typography. Its primary usage is in mathematical and computer science contexts, specifically when dealing with sets theory. In this domain, SAS allows digital text to represent a superset relationship between two sets, where one set encompasses all elements from both itself and another set. This unique character aids in the clear representation of hierarchical relationships within mathematical equations or algorithms, contributing to greater clarity and efficiency when communicating complex concepts. While U+2AD6 may not be commonly seen outside of these niche fields, it serves as a crucial tool for those working with supersets and their intricate relationships.
