Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩮ has the Unicode code point U+2A6E. 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+2A6E to binary:
00101010 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A6E is designated as "EQUALS WITH ASTERISK." This symbol has a crucial role in digital text, serving to represent an operation that evaluates two expressions for equality while also indicating the result with an asterisk. It's predominantly used in programming languages and computer science applications where it signifies that two values are identical and are represented by the symbol (*) subsequent to the equal sign (=). The EQUALS WITH ASTERISK character is not limited to any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, but its primary use remains in computational settings.
