Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≃ has the Unicode code point U+2243. 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+2243 to binary:
00100010 01000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2243, "≂", represents the symbol for ASYMPTOTICALLY EQUAL TO in digital text. This mathematical symbol is used to express a relationship between two functions that approach equality as one variable approaches infinity, though they never actually become equal in that limit. It is predominantly used in mathematical texts, scientific documents, and engineering fields where asymptotic analysis is employed. The symbol finds its roots in the Greek letter delta (δ), which is used to denote change or difference in mathematics and physics. As part of the Unicode Standard, this symbol has been widely adopted for global digital communication, ensuring consistent representation across different platforms and devices.
