Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫺ has the Unicode code point U+2AFA. 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+2AFA to binary:
00101010 11111010. 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 10101011 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+2AFA, known as the DOUBLE-LINE SLANTED GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO symbol (≧), serves a crucial role in digital text representation. This mathematical symbol is predominantly employed in equations and comparisons, primarily within the realm of mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Its slanted form distinguishes it from the standard greater-than or equal to sign (>), allowing for enhanced readability and clarity in various contexts. The DOUBLE-LINE SLANTED GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO symbol can be encountered in diverse applications such as programming languages, statistical analysis, and mathematical notation systems. Its distinct design is a valuable asset in visually differentiating between equality and inequality statements, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of digital communication within these fields.
