Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪮ has the Unicode code point U+2AAE. 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+2AAE to binary:
00101010 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The character U+2AAE, known as the "EQUALS SIGN WITH BUMPY ABOVE," is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent an equal sign with a unique, bumpy appearance above it. This Unicode character is often employed in various contexts, including graphic design, typography, and even linguistics, where it can be utilized to add visual interest or emphasize the equality of elements within a given text. Its use may also extend to mathematical notation, where it could be used to draw attention to specific equations or relationships between variables. However, due to its relatively niche application and specialized nature, the EQUALS SIGN WITH BUMPY ABOVE is not commonly found in everyday digital texts.
