Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≯ has the Unicode code point U+226F. 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+226F to binary:
00100010 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+226F, known as the "Not Greater-Than" symbol (≤), serves a crucial role in digital text by representing an inequality between two values in mathematics. It is often used in equations and mathematical expressions to convey the idea that one value is less than or equal to another, offering clarity for both humans and digital systems reading the content. The character can be found in various programming languages, software applications, and mathematical documents. Despite its prevalence, it remains a technically focused symbol without significant cultural, linguistic, or artistic associations, primarily used for its functional purpose in representing a specific mathematical relationship.
