Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≤ has the Unicode code point U+2264. 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+2264 to binary:
00100010 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2264 represents the "Less-Than Or Equal To" symbol (≤), which is commonly used in mathematical expressions and digital text to denote inequality or range limits. This symbol plays a crucial role in various technical domains, including computer programming, engineering, and data science, where it is often employed in comparison operators, algorithm design, and statistical analysis. The "Less-Than Or Equal To" symbol is widely recognized across multiple languages and cultures due to its universally understood representation of inequality. Its significance lies in its ability to provide a clear and concise way to express comparative relationships between numeric values or sets of data, making it an indispensable tool for precise communication and problem-solving in numerous technical contexts.
