Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⋤ has the Unicode code point U+22E4. 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+22E4 to binary:
00100010 11100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+22E4, known as the "Square Image of OR Not Equal To" symbol, is a mathematical symbol that holds a significant role in digital text, specifically within the realm of mathematics and computer programming. It is predominantly used in mathematical expressions to denote an inequality between two sets or values. This symbol acts as a square image of the logical operator "not equal to," represented by the double-headed arrow (⇌). The U+22E4 character has been designed to improve readability and coherence within digital text, especially in formal documents, equations, and programming languages. Although this symbol is not widely used in everyday language, it serves a vital purpose in specialized fields where precise mathematical notation is required.
