Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋞ has the Unicode code point U+22DE. 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+22DE to binary:
00100010 11011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+22DE, known as "Equal To Or Precedes," plays a vital role in mathematical and scientific typography. This symbol is employed to denote the relationship between two quantities in which one quantity is greater than or equal to another within digital text. It is particularly useful for expressing inequalities, such as x ≤ y, where 'x' is less than or equal to 'y,' or x < y, where 'x' is less than 'y.' In addition to its mathematical significance, the U+22DE character also appears in various programming languages and markup languages as a symbol for comparison operators. For instance, it can be used in C++ code as a less-than or equal-to operator (<=) to compare two values. This versatile character contributes significantly to the clarity and precision of digital texts in the domains of mathematics, computer science, and engineering, ensuring that readers understand the intended relationships between different values and quantities.
