Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ≽ has the Unicode code point U+227D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+227D to binary:
00100010 01111101
. 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 10111101
SUCCEEDS OR EQUAL TO·U+227D

Description
The Unicode character U+227D, known as the "Succeeds or Equal To" symbol (≘), is a mathematical symbol that typically appears in digital text within mathematical expressions and formulae. It denotes a relation between two values where one value not only equals but also succeeds the other in a specified sequence or order. The character is commonly employed in fields like computer science, engineering, physics, and mathematics to compare and analyze complex relationships or structures. Although U+227D does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it serves as a vital tool for clearly expressing logical and mathematical concepts, ensuring the accuracy and clarity of information in various disciplines.
