Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪊ has the Unicode code point U+2A8A. 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+2A8A to binary:
00101010 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+2A8A, known as the "GREATER-THAN AND NOT APPROXIMATE" symbol (≱), plays a crucial role in digital text by representing an inequality relationship that is both greater than and not approximately equal to another value. This mathematical symbol, often used in set theory, logic, and computer science, is primarily employed for comparing ordered pairs or tuples in programming languages and algorithms. The GREATER-THAN AND NOT APPROXIMATE symbol effectively communicates the idea that a value is greater than another value but not within an infinitesimally small range of differences, which can be useful when precision and accuracy are critical in calculations and logical operations.
