Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋚ has the Unicode code point U+22DA. 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+22DA to binary:
00100010 11011010
. 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 10011010
LESS-THAN EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN·U+22DA

Description
The Unicode character U+22DA, known as "Less-Than or Greater-Than" (≤), is a symbol that holds significant importance in digital text, particularly within mathematical equations and scientific notation. Its primary role is to represent an inequality between two numbers, indicating that the value on the left side of the symbol is either less than or equal to the value on the right side. This symbol provides clarity when conveying relationships between variables and constants, and it is widely used in programming languages and computational software for its concise representation of these relationships. Additionally, U+22DA can be found in various mathematical documents, educational materials, and engineering designs to clearly communicate inequality conditions.
