Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪻ has the Unicode code point U+2ABB. 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+2ABB to binary:
00101010 10111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+2ABB, known as the DOUBLE PRECEDES (ʘ), is a typographical symbol that holds importance in digital text primarily within the realm of linguistics and computer science. This character is part of the private use area of Unicode and is not commonly used outside of specialized contexts. Its typical usage involves representing double precession or a double preceding accent, which can be seen in some less common languages or scripts that require such nuanced phonetic representation. Although it does not have any widespread cultural or linguistic significance, the DOUBLE PRECEDES symbol is essential for accurate transcription and understanding of specific language structures or technical notations where its unique function is required.
