Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩾ has the Unicode code point U+2A7E. 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+2A7E to binary:
00101010 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+2A7E, known as the Greater-Than Or Slanted Equal To symbol, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that serves a specific role in digital text. This mathematical symbol is often employed to express an inequality in mathematical expressions and equations. Its typical usage is to represent a situation where one quantity is greater than or equal to another, but at an angle, hence the name. The slanted appearance of this character distinguishes it from the standard greater-than (>) or equal-to (=) symbols. While this symbol may not be as commonly used in everyday digital text as some other characters, it holds significant importance in certain technical and mathematical contexts. In these fields, the Greater-Than Or Slanted Equal To symbol provides clarity and precision when comparing quantities or values. The Unicode Standard ensures that such symbols are consistently represented across different platforms and programming languages, thereby aiding in the accurate communication of mathematical and technical information.
