Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪈ has the Unicode code point U+2A88. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2A88 to binary:
00101010 10001000
. 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 10001000
GREATER-THAN AND SINGLE-LINE NOT EQUAL TO·U+2A88

Description
The Unicode character U+2A88 represents the "Greater-Than And Single-Line Not Equal To" symbol (>!=). This mathematical symbol is used in digital text to denote a comparison that is both greater than and not equal to another value. It is commonly employed in programming languages, mathematical equations, and logical statements to illustrate the inequality of two values. While it may seem similar to the "Greater-Than" symbol (>), the addition of the "Single-Line Not Equal To" element emphasizes that the values being compared are not only greater but also not equivalent. This character serves a crucial role in various programming and mathematical contexts, ensuring accurate and precise communication of relationships between numerical or logical entities.
