Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≢ has the Unicode code point U+2262. 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+2262 to binary:
00100010 01100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2262, "≢," represents the mathematical symbol "NOT IDENTICAL TO." In digital text, it is commonly used in algebraic expressions to indicate that two values are not identical in every respect. Although it may appear similar to the identity symbol (≡), which denotes equality, the "NOT IDENTICAL TO" symbol indicates a stronger sense of inequality. The character is often employed in mathematical proofs, set theory, and computer programming to underscore distinctions between different elements or data types.
