Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≨ has the Unicode code point U+2268. 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+2268 to binary:
00100010 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2268, commonly known as the Less-Than But Not Equal To symbol, is a critical figure in digital text for its role in mathematical expressions. This symbol, "≤", indicates an inequality where the quantity on its left is less than or equal to the quantity on its right. It's widely used in computer programming languages, math equations, and logic gates. Despite being commonly used in English-speaking contexts, it's not specific to any language; instead, it's a universal symbol understood globally due to its usage in mathematics and computer science, which are cross-cultural fields. The use of this character demonstrates the universality of mathematical concepts, transcending cultural, linguistic, or technical barriers.
