Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋝ has the Unicode code point U+22DD. 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+22DD to binary:
00100010 11011101. 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 10001011 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+22DD is known as the "Greater-Than or Equal To" symbol (≥). It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematics, computer science, and engineering fields where comparisons between numerical values are prevalent. This symbol is part of a family of comparison operators that includes U+22DC (Not Equal To), U+2234 (Less Than or Equal To), and U+2264 (Less Than). The "Greater-Than or Equal To" operator compares two values, where the result is true if the first value is greater than or equal to the second value. While this symbol is most commonly used in digital text for comparison operations, it can also be utilized in everyday language contexts to illustrate relative size and quantity comparisons, such as "The cake is at least 20 centimeters in diameter."
