Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩖ has the Unicode code point U+2A56. 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+2A56 to binary:
00101010 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A56, known as the "TWO INTERSECTING LOGICAL OR" symbol (⋈), plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in mathematical and logical expressions. It is part of the "Mathematical Operators" block in the Unicode Standard, which encompasses symbols for mathematical functions and operations. This character is primarily used to denote an intersection operation between two sets or collections, representing the elements common to both sets. In digital text, U+2A56 is often employed in algorithmic expressions, set theory, and formal logic to convey complex relationships and dependencies within data structures. While this symbol does not have a direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its mathematical applications, it remains an essential tool for precision in logical and computational analysis.
