Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩳ has the Unicode code point U+2A73. 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+2A73 to binary:
00101010 01110011. 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 10101001 10110011

Description
The character U+2A73, known as the Equals Sign Above Tilde Operator, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a symbol for mathematical operations, particularly within the field of computer science and programming languages. Specifically, this character is used to denote equality between two operands, with an added nuance of a logical implication. Its representation visually resembles an equals sign (=) placed above a tilde (~), which graphically symbolizes a combination of equality testing and negation or complementation. This operator is commonly utilized in programming languages like C, C++, and Java to express the equivalence of two values or expressions. In these contexts, it often appears in conditional statements and control structures, where its presence can influence the flow of a program's execution. The Equals Sign Above Tilde Operator has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of programming languages and their respective syntax rules.
