Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩷ has the Unicode code point U+2A77. 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+2A77 to binary:
00101010 01110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+2A77, known as the "Equals Sign with Two Dots Above and Two Dots Below" (‸=‸), is a typographical symbol that can be employed in digital text to convey a specific meaning or emphasis. This unique character combines two distinct elements: an equals sign (=) and two dots above and below it, making it visually distinct from the standard equals sign used in mathematics and logic. Its primary role is to serve as a visual aid for emphasizing the equality of two values or statements, often in mathematical equations or logical expressions where precision and clarity are essential. Although this character does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts outside of its role as a specialized typographical element, it can be used to add a touch of creativity and flair to digital text. In certain design-centric applications, such as web development or graphic design, the U+2A77 character may be employed to create visually engaging content while still maintaining an emphasis on clarity and accuracy.
