Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪎ has the Unicode code point U+2A8E. 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+2A8E to binary:
00101010 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+2A8E is the Unicode character code for "GREATER-THAN ABOVE SIMILAR OR EQUAL" (≧), a mathematical symbol used in digital text for representing an inequality that states a value is greater than or equal to a specified value. This symbol is widely used in various fields, including mathematics, computer science, and engineering, where it plays a critical role in expressing relationships between values in equations, algorithms, and programming languages. The symbol can be paired with other mathematical symbols to denote a range of inequalities, such as "less than or equal" (≤), "less than" (<), and "greater than" (>). Although it is not part of the standard Latin alphabet, U+2A8E plays an essential role in facilitating clear communication of mathematical concepts and relationships within digital text.
