Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩕ has the Unicode code point U+2A55. 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+2A55 to binary:
00101010 01010101. 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 10101001 10010101

Description
U+2A55 is a specialized Unicode character that represents the logical AND operator in the form of two intersecting lines. In digital text, it's typically used in mathematics, computer programming, and engineering to denote logical conjunction operations. The character serves as a valuable tool for those working with Boolean algebra and digital logic systems, playing a critical role in defining and implementing complex algorithms, particularly in binary systems. It is especially useful in programming languages where clear visual representation of logical operators is crucial. There isn't any notable cultural, linguistic or technical context associated with this character, as its usage is primarily functional and universal. Its design, two intersecting lines, clearly conveys the concept of intersection, which aligns with the mathematical operation it represents.
