Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≩ has the Unicode code point U+2269. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2269 to binary:
00100010 01101001
. 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 10101001
GREATER-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO·U+2269

Description
The Unicode character U+2269 represents the "Greater-Than But Not Equal To" symbol (>). In digital text, this character is often used in mathematical equations, programming languages, and logical comparisons to indicate that a given value is greater than another value but not equal to it. This character can be found in various fonts and encodings, including ASCII and Unicode. The "Greater-Than But Not Equal To" symbol holds significance in computer science and engineering disciplines due to its use in sorting algorithms, search algorithms, and comparison operations. It is a vital component of the programming languages like C++, Java, Python, and many others that follow the syntax rules of arithmetic comparison.
