Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≮ has the Unicode code point U+226E. 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+226E to binary:
00100010 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+226E is known as the "Not Less-Than" symbol (‹). This typographical element plays a crucial role in mathematical expressions and digital text, specifically when used within set theory or logical propositions. It is commonly employed to represent an implication or entailment between two statements in logic, often denoted by the phrase "if... then." The U+226E character signifies that if the first statement is true, then the second statement must also be true for the entire expression to hold. While not as ubiquitous as its counterpart "Less-Than" (<), the Not Less-Than symbol holds a significant position in various fields of study and applications, including mathematics, computer science, and philosophy.
