Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+009E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+009E to binary:
10011110. 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:
11000010 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+009E, often referred to as the "Less-Than or Equal To Sign (=<)", is a significant mathematical symbol used in digital text representation. Primarily, it denotes an inequality relationship between two values within mathematical equations and expressions. This symbol's role extends to technical contexts where it is utilized in programming languages and computer algorithms for comparison operations, such as determining if one value is less than or equal to another. In cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, this symbol holds importance, especially in fields like mathematics, computer science, engineering, and other areas where precise representation of inequality relationships is essential. Although not commonly used in general typography, the Less-Than or Equal To Sign contributes significantly to clear communication and accurate interpretation in these specific domains. It belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement Unicode block (code range: 128–255), which houses a variety of characters essential for text formatting and typography purposes. This character set extends the basic Latin character set, ensuring proper presentation and readability across various applications and written content types.
