Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≍ has the Unicode code point U+224D. 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+224D to binary:
00100010 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+224D is a character from the Unicode standard used to represent the symbol "≩", known as the EQUIVALENT TO glyph. This mathematical symbol is typically employed in digital text, specifically within mathematical expressions and equations. Its primary use lies in demonstrating equivalence or proportionality between different variables or values. The EQUIVALENT TO symbol holds particular significance in various fields of study such as mathematics, physics, and computer science, where it is often used to illustrate the concept of equality between two sets of information. Although U+224D may not possess any specific cultural or linguistic context, its universal application in digital text makes it an essential component for accurate and clear communication across numerous academic disciplines.
