Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩆ has the Unicode code point U+2A46. 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+2A46 to binary:
00101010 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A46, known as "Union Above Intersection," is a mathematical symbol used to represent the union of sets, which is an operation that combines elements from multiple sets while removing duplicates. This typographical symbol plays a significant role in digital text, especially within the realm of mathematics and computer science, where it helps to express complex relationships between different data points or concepts accurately. U+2A46 Union Above Intersection is often used in set theory, Venn diagrams, and other visual representations of abstract concepts. It is derived from traditional mathematical symbols, and its digital representation is a vital part of clear communication within technical and academic fields.
