Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩯ has the Unicode code point U+2A6F. 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+2A6F to binary:
00101010 01101111. 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 10101001 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+2A6F is known as the Almost Equal to with Circumflex Accent (≈̂). This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematical equations and scientific notations. It is commonly used to denote an approximation or near equality between two values, where the exact equivalence is not essential but the closeness of the relationship is. The Circumflex accent (̂) added above the Almost Equal to symbol (≈) emphasizes the proximity of the values rather than their precise equality, which can be crucial in certain mathematical and scientific contexts. While it may seem like a minor difference, the distinction between exact equality and near equality has important implications in various fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science. The U+2A6F symbol's inclusion in Unicode reflects the importance of precise communication in these areas, ensuring that the nuanced meanings associated with different symbols are clearly understood by readers worldwide.
