Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≧ has the Unicode code point U+2267. 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+2267 to binary:
00100010 01100111
. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2267 represents the "Greater-Than Over Equal To" symbol (>⪯). This symbol plays a crucial role in digital text by allowing for clearer and more precise expression of mathematical relationships in various fields, such as science, technology, and engineering. Specifically, it is used to denote an inequality relationship between two values where the left side of the symbol must be greater than the right side, but not necessarily equal to it. The "Greater-Than Over Equal To" symbol is often employed in mathematical formulas and equations for comparison operators in programming languages. It originates from the broader family of relational operators in computer science, which include "Less Than (<)" and "Equal To (=)." Though U+2267 might be less commonly used than its counterparts, it serves an essential function in clarifying the exact meaning of a mathematical relationship or comparison to avoid ambiguity.
