Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≥ has the Unicode code point U+2265. 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+2265 to binary:
00100010 01100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+2265, or "Greater-Than Or Equal To", is a crucial symbol in the realm of mathematics and computer programming, specifically serving as a comparison operator. This character holds significant importance in digital text where it assists in comparing numerical values or strings to establish their relative magnitude or equivalence. Its role extends beyond mere mathematical applications, as it often finds use in algorithmic processes, search algorithms, and data sorting mechanisms. In the context of Unicode, U+2265 provides a standardized representation for this operator across various programming languages and software platforms, thereby streamlining code readability and maintenance. Despite its seemingly universal nature, cultural or linguistic nuances may influence how this symbol is represented or interpreted in different regions, although these differences are generally negligible given its functional universality.
