Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⊜ has the Unicode code point U+229C. 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+229C to binary:
00100010 10011100. 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 10001010 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+229C, known as the Circled Equals (⭰), plays a vital role in mathematical notation and digital text. This typographic symbol is often employed to represent an equality relation between two expressions in mathematical equations or logical statements. Its circular design helps differentiate it from the standard equals sign (=) by providing visual clarity and reducing ambiguity, thus enhancing readability for users and simplifying interpretation by software applications. The Circled Equals symbol has found widespread use in various fields such as computer science, engineering, and physics due to its ability to convey complex mathematical concepts with precision and clarity.
