Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪛ has the Unicode code point U+2A9B. 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+2A9B to binary:
00101010 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+2A9B, the DOUBLE-LINE SLANTED EQUAL TO OR LESS-THAN character, is a typographical symbol predominantly utilized in digital text. While it may not be as widely recognized as other symbols such as the standard equal sign or the less-than symbol, its unique slanted double lines provide an interesting alternative for denoting inequality within mathematical expressions and equations. This character can be particularly useful when seeking to emphasize a specific inequality or to add visual variety in digital text where traditional symbols might appear too mundane or commonplace. However, it is important to note that the usage of U+2A9B may vary across different platforms and software, as compatibility with this less-common symbol cannot be guaranteed in all instances.
