Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≐ has the Unicode code point U+2250. 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+2250 to binary:
00100010 01010000. 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 10001001 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2250 represents the mathematical symbol "approaches the limit." This character is primarily used in digital text for expressing an approximation to a certain value within the confines of calculus, a branch of mathematics dealing with limits and functions. In this context, the symbol signifies that a function or sequence approaches a specific limit as a variable tends towards a certain value. Although this character is not widely used outside of mathematical and scientific fields, it plays an essential role in accurately conveying complex concepts within these domains. Its primary usage can be found in documents involving calculus, theoretical physics, computer science, and engineering. The symbol is part of the Math Alphabet (Unicode block 2100-214F), which includes other symbols used to denote mathematical operations and expressions.
