Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≸ has the Unicode code point U+2278. 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+2278 to binary:
00100010 01111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+2278, known as the "Neither Less-Than Nor Greater-Than" symbol (≺), is a mathematical notation that represents an inequality involving two variables x and y, where both x and y are not less than or greater than each other. It is used primarily in digital text to denote that the relationship between x and y is not strictly less than or strictly greater than, but rather falls within some non-strict comparison context. This character is often employed in mathematical equations, logical statements, and computer programming languages to depict set inclusions, partial orders, and other similar relationships where neither a strict ascendancy nor descendancy can be established between two elements.
