Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≳ has the Unicode code point U+2273. 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+2273 to binary:
00100010 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+2273, known as the "GREATER-THAN OR EQUIVALENT TO" symbol, plays a vital role in digital text by representing an inequality relationship between two values or expressions. In mathematical and logical contexts, it is often used to compare two variables, with the notation A > B or A >= B signifying that "A is greater than" or "A is greater than or equal to" B, respectively. This character helps in establishing relationships, inequalities, and conditions within algorithms, formulas, and computer programming languages. The U+2273 symbol is widely used across various fields, including mathematics, computer science, engineering, and data analysis, ensuring clarity and precision in communication of these concepts.
