Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≬ has the Unicode code point U+226C. 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+226C to binary:
00100010 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+226C is the Unicode character code for the mathematical symbol "BETWEEN". This symbol is commonly used in mathematical notation to represent an interval or range of values. It is predominantly utilized in digital text, especially in computer algebra systems and within the context of mathematical expressions. The BETWEEN symbol plays a significant role in set theory and predicate logic, where it helps to define relationships between elements in a set. It is often employed in algorithms and programming languages to establish conditional statements involving ranges of values. Its usage is not limited to specific cultural or linguistic contexts but is widely recognized and understood across various mathematical disciplines.
