Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋦ has the Unicode code point U+22E6. 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+22E6 to binary:
00100010 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+22E6, known as "LESS-THAN BUT NOT EQUIVALENT TO," holds a vital role in digital text representation. This mathematical symbol is often used to denote an inequality relation in mathematical expressions and logical statements. In contrast to the standard less-than sign (U+003C), U+22E6 indicates that the value on its left side is not equivalent to, but still less than, the value on its right side. This distinction is crucial in various disciplines, including mathematics, computer science, and engineering, where precise expression of relationships is essential for accuracy and clarity. The character's specific use depends on the context, but it consistently contributes to enhancing the understanding of complex concepts and relationships within digital text.
