Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋨ has the Unicode code point U+22E8. 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+22E8 to binary:
00100010 11101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+22E8, or "PRECEDES BUT NOT EQUIVALENT TO", is a mathematical relation symbol that plays a crucial role in digital text. It represents a relationship between two expressions where the first precedes but is not equivalent to the second. This symbol is particularly significant in mathematics and computer science for expressing inequalities, such as A ≠ B or A < B. Its use helps clarify distinctions and avoid ambiguity when comparing or contrasting different entities in a textual context. Though it may seem subtle, the U+22E8 symbol contributes to the precision and accuracy of digital texts in various fields like mathematics, computer science, and data analysis.
