Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫹ has the Unicode code point U+2AF9. 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+2AF9 to binary:
00101010 11111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2AF9 is the DOUBLE-LINE SLANTED LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO symbol (⋠). This typographical element holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematical equations, logic statements, and comparative analysis. It represents the relationship between two elements, indicating that the value on the left is less than or equal to the value on the right. The DOUBLE-LINE SLANTED LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO symbol is part of the Mathematic and Alphanumeric Symbols block within Unicode, which includes a wide range of symbols used for mathematical, logical, and scientific purposes. While the symbol's usage may seem limited due to its niche application, it plays an essential role in communicating precise information and relationships in various fields such as computer science, mathematics, and engineering. As with any specialized character or symbol in Unicode, understanding its purpose and proper usage contributes to clearer communication and accuracy in digital text across languages and cultures.
