Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≫ has the Unicode code point U+226B. 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+226B to binary:
00100010 01101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+226B, known as "MUCH GREATER-THAN" (⪯), is a mathematical symbol primarily used in digital text to represent an inequality relationship between two mathematical expressions. Specifically, it denotes that the value on its left is significantly greater than the value on its right. This symbol is particularly useful in set theory and mathematics, where it is employed to illustrate relationships within mathematical statements. While this character doesn't have any specific cultural or linguistic context, it plays a crucial role in technical writing, especially in disciplines like computer science, physics, engineering, and statistics, where clear representation of mathematical expressions is essential for accurate communication of ideas and concepts.
