Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩅ has the Unicode code point U+2A45. 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+2A45 to binary:
00101010 01000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2A45, known as the "Union with Logical OR" symbol (⋎), plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within mathematical expressions and logical operations. In programming languages and logic systems, this character is commonly used to denote an inclusive or operation, where the result of the operation is true if either one or both of the operands are true. The Union with Logical OR symbol helps programmers and developers simplify complex logical operations by providing a clear visual representation of their intent. Although it may not have direct cultural or linguistic significance, its use within the realm of computer science, mathematics, and programming languages contributes to the overall clarity and efficiency of digital text.
