To ensure that bitwise operators generate outcomes that are unsigned, you must ensure that the variables or values you are operating on are treated as unsigned. This can be done by using unsigned data types in your programming language. For example, in C or C++, you can use the "unsigned" keyword to declare variables as unsigned. In Java, you can use the "unsigned" modifier for integer types.

Additionally, you can use masking techniques to ensure the outcome is unsigned. For example, if you are using the bitwise AND operator to extract a certain number of bits from a value, you can apply a mask to the result to ensure that the upper bits are set to 0. This will ensure that the outcome of the operation is unsigned.

Overall, to ensure that bitwise operators generate unsigned outcomes, you need to use unsigned data types and masking techniques where appropriate.
