Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫈ has the Unicode code point U+2AC8. 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+2AC8 to binary:
00101010 11001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The character U+2AC8, known as the Superset of Above Tilde Operator, plays a significant role in digital typography and mathematical expressions. It is primarily used to denote a relationship between two sets in the field of mathematics and computer science. Specifically, it represents the concept of one set being a superset of another, which is a crucial aspect of set theory. In this context, it helps to visually differentiate between subsets, proper subsets, and supersets. The Superset of Above Tilde Operator does not have any notable cultural or linguistic significance, but its technical application is essential in various digital text formats, especially those dealing with mathematical expressions and algorithms. By employing this character, creators can accurately communicate complex relationships between sets, promoting clarity and precision within their work.
