Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋛ has the Unicode code point U+22DB. 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+22DB to binary:
00100010 11011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+22DB represents the "Greater-Than Equal To Or Less-Than" symbol (≥≤), commonly known as the "great than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" symbol. This versatile mathematical symbol is widely used in digital text, particularly within computer programming languages and scientific notation. It serves a crucial role in comparing numerical values and establishing relationships between variables. The U+22DB symbol is often employed in sorting algorithms, data structures, and conditional statements, demonstrating its fundamental importance in information technology and computing systems. While it may not hold any specific cultural or linguistic significance, the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" symbols are indispensable tools for developers and programmers in creating efficient and effective algorithms.
