Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥵ has the Unicode code point U+2975. 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+2975 to binary:
00101001 01110101
. 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 10100101 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2975, known as RIGHTWARDS ARROW ABOVE ALMOST EQUAL TO, is a specialized symbol used in digital text to indicate an almost equal relationship between two values or quantities. It plays a critical role in mathematical equations and scientific notations where exact equality cannot be established but close approximation is crucial. This character is particularly useful in the domains of physics, engineering, computer science, and statistics. Despite its niche usage, it has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its purely informational function. Its precise application helps convey a subtle yet significant meaning in complex mathematical equations and expressions. Therefore, the RIGHTWARDS ARROW ABOVE ALMOST EQUAL TO (U+2975) is an essential tool in the modern digital text arsenal for accurate and concise representation of scientific and mathematical concepts.
