Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋬ has the Unicode code point U+22EC. 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+22EC to binary:
00100010 11101100. 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 10001011 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+22EC, known as "Not Normal Subgroup of or Equal To", is a specialized symbol used primarily within the realm of digital text for mathematical expressions and computer programming languages. This character serves a critical role in establishing certain relationships between sets, particularly when comparing subgroups to determine if they are normal or abnormal in context. Its significance is largely rooted in its ability to convey complex mathematical concepts concisely, facilitating clearer communication and reducing the risk of misinterpretation among professionals in fields such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Despite its specific use case, U+22EC remains an important symbol within digital text, highlighting the power of Unicode's extensive character set to facilitate precise expression across a wide range of languages and disciplines.
