Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≱ has the Unicode code point U+2271. 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+2271 to binary:
00100010 01110001
. 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 10110001
NEITHER GREATER-THAN NOR EQUAL TO·U+2271

Description
The Unicode character U+2271, known as the "Neither Greater-Than Nor Equal To" symbol (≩), is a mathematical symbol primarily used in digital text for its role in representing an inequality that is neither greater than nor equal to. It is part of the Mathematical Operators block and is often utilized in set theory and abstract algebra, where it helps to precisely convey complex mathematical relationships. The character's usage is particularly prominent in formal proofs, mathematical documentation, and computer programming languages that require a clear and unambiguous expression of these types of comparisons. There are no significant cultural or linguistic contexts associated with U+2271, as it is a universally recognized symbol within the scope of mathematics and its applications.
