Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋜ has the Unicode code point U+22DC. 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+22DC to binary:
00100010 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+22DC, known as "Less-Than or Equal to" (≤), holds a vital role in the realm of mathematics, computer programming, and digital text. In mathematical expressions, this symbol is used to denote the inequality "less than or equal to," which compares two values and determines if the first value is less than or equal to the second. This inequality sign is commonly found in algebraic expressions, equations, and logical conditions. In computer programming languages like C, C++, Java, and Python, U+22DC is employed for comparison operators when evaluating conditional statements. It helps programmers make decisions based on the values of variables or data inputs. The use of this symbol ensures clear communication in source code and aids in maintaining consistency in digital text. Although it may appear in various programming languages, U+22DC's primary usage remains consistent across different platforms due to its universal nature in Unicode. Its cultural, linguistic, or technical context is mainly focused on ensuring accurate representation, readability, and functionality in mathematical equations and software applications worldwide.
