Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫂ has the Unicode code point U+2AC2. 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+2AC2 to binary:
00101010 11000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2AC2, known as the Subset with Multiplication Sign Below, is a typographical symbol primarily used in mathematical notation and digital text. This special character represents a subset relationship that is multiplied by another set. It is often used in the field of set theory, where it illustrates how one set (the subset) multiplied by the size of another set (the superset) results in a certain outcome or product. This symbol has particular relevance in computer science and mathematics, helping to clarify complex relationships between sets in digital communication. It is important to note that while this character may seem obscure, it plays a crucial role in these specialized fields by providing a clear visual representation of set operations that might otherwise be ambiguous or require additional explanation.
