Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪜ has the Unicode code point U+2A9C. 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+2A9C to binary:
00101010 10011100. 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 10101010 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+2A9C, known as the DOUBLE-LINE SLANTED EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN (⩾), is a typographical symbol that holds significance in digital text for its distinct representation of inequality. Unlike the standard greater-than sign (>), this character features two parallel lines slanted at an angle, providing a more visually striking and unique representation. While it may not have widespread usage in everyday language, it serves a crucial role in technical and mathematical contexts where precision and distinction are critical. Its inclusion in digital text is often seen in algebraic expressions, engineering diagrams, or programming code, where it signifies an inequality relationship between variables or values. Despite its relatively niche application, the DOUBLE-LINE SLANTED EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN symbol demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of Unicode in accommodating various typographical needs across cultures and disciplines.
