Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≄ has the Unicode code point U+2244. 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+2244 to binary:
00100010 01000100
. 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 10000100
NOT ASYMPTOTICALLY EQUAL TO·U+2244

Description
The Unicode character U+2244, "Not Equal to" (≠), is a mathematical symbol used in digital text for expressing the concept of inequality. It plays an important role in various branches of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, and set theory, where it is used to denote that two expressions are not equal in value. The character originates from blackboard bold letters, which were traditionally written with a bold typewriter or handwritten using a marker on a blackboard. Despite its visual similarity to the equals sign (=), U+2244 represents the negation of equality and is often used as a counterpart in mathematical expressions. In programming languages and digital text, U+2244 is typically found within the scope of logical statements or mathematical equations, where it helps convey that one value is not equivalent to another. Its usage contributes significantly to the accuracy and clarity of expressions involving variables, relations, and comparisons in various fields such as computer science, engineering, and physics.
