Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≦ has the Unicode code point U+2266. 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+2266 to binary:
00100010 01100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+2266, also known as the Less-Than Over Equal To symbol, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in mathematics and computer science. This symbol is utilized to represent an inequality between two numbers or expressions. In a mathematical context, it can be used to denote that one value is less than another value when both are being compared. Within the field of computer science, it may be employed to illustrate data structures like binary search trees or sorting algorithms. This particular symbol has no direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its mathematical and computational applications. It remains a fundamental tool for those who work with numerical comparisons, data organization, or algorithmic problem-solving in various disciplines such as physics, engineering, economics, and computer science. Its clear and concise representation of less-than-equal relationships is what makes it an indispensable part of digital text communication in these fields.
