Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪢ has the Unicode code point U+2AA2. 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+2AA2 to binary:
00101010 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2AA2, known as the DOUBLE NESTED GREATER-THAN (››), is a unique symbol used in digital text for various purposes. It serves as a representation of an enclosed greater-than sign, where the outer ">" symbol contains another "<" symbol. This character can be employed in programming languages, mathematical equations, and computer code to illustrate nested conditional statements or hierarchical relationships. Although it is not commonly used in everyday communication, the DOUBLE NESTED GREATER-THAN holds significance in niche areas such as computer science and coding. Its primary function is to differentiate between normal greater-than signs and those enclosed within other symbols, enabling clearer understanding of complex code structures and enhancing readability for programmers.
