Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≕ has the Unicode code point U+2255. 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+2255 to binary:
00100010 01010101. 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 10001001 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2255, known as the EQUALS COLON, is a symbol that holds significant importance in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, and digital text formatting. Typically represented as "≫", this character is used to denote an association between two entities or values. It signifies that one entity (or value) can be derived from another, often utilized in proofs, algorithms, and logical expressions. In the context of programming languages, it may serve as a right shift assignment operator, indicating a bitwise operation. The EQUALS COLON is also employed in linguistics to represent certain phonetic or grammatical relationships between words or phrases. Despite its relatively niche usage, the EQUALS COLON plays a crucial role in precision and clarity within specialized texts and documents.
