Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≰ has the Unicode code point U+2270. 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+2270 to binary:
00100010 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+2270, also known as "NEITHER LESS-THAN NOR EQUAL TO," is a special symbol in the Unicode character set used to represent a specific mathematical relation. In digital text, this character typically appears in expressions or equations where the relationship between two numbers cannot be determined based on a standard less-than or equal-to comparison. It signifies that neither a strictly less-than nor an equality condition is applicable. The U+2270 symbol holds importance in various mathematical domains such as computer science, engineering, and physics, where precise language is essential to avoid misinterpretation. As part of the Unicode character set, it contributes to a standardized method for encoding text across different languages and platforms. It's crucial to note that U+2270 is not a commonly used symbol in everyday digital communication or general writing; its primary use lies in specific technical fields requiring nuanced mathematical expressions.
