Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪡ has the Unicode code point U+2AA1. 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+2AA1 to binary:
00101010 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+2AA1, known as DOUBLE NESTED LESS-THAN, is a typographical symbol that serves a specific role in digital text. It is primarily used in the realm of programming and markup languages for its technical functionality rather than for any cultural or linguistic context. Its primary purpose is to create a nested less-than comparison within HTML code or other similar markup languages. This allows programmers and developers to specify conditional expressions that require multiple levels of comparison. In essence, this character enables the creation of more complex, nuanced search algorithms and logic structures in digital text. However, it's important to note that due to its highly specialized use, this character may not be widely recognized or used outside of specific programming contexts.
