Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋟ has the Unicode code point U+22DF. 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+22DF to binary:
00100010 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+22DF, known as "Equal To Or Succeeds" (≠), plays a significant role in mathematical and digital text representation. This symbol is primarily used to denote an inequality relation between two values or expressions. In mathematical contexts, it represents the concept of non-equality or inequality; specifically, that the value on the left side of the symbol is not equal to, but greater than, the value on the right side. U+22DF is often employed in computer programming, engineering, and scientific fields where precise comparisons are essential. While it does not hold any cultural or linguistic significance in a broad sense, its accurate usage helps maintain clarity and avoid confusion in digital text that relies on mathematical notation or symbolic expression.
