Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪩ has the Unicode code point U+2AA9. 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+2AA9 to binary:
00101010 10101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2AA9, known as the Greater-Than Closed by Curve Above Slanted Equal, is a typographical symbol used in digital text for mathematical expressions. It represents an inequality symbol that combines the traditional greater-than sign (>) with a closed curve above and a slanted equal sign below. This character is predominantly used in mathematics, engineering, and scientific documents to express inequalities in a visually distinct manner, helping readers quickly identify and understand the relationship between values or variables. While not widely utilized in everyday language, the U+2AA9 symbol serves an essential purpose in specific technical and academic contexts where precise representation of mathematical relationships is crucial.
