Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪂ has the Unicode code point U+2A82. 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+2A82 to binary:
00101010 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2A82 represents the "Greater-Than Or Slanted Equal To With Dot Above" symbol. In digital text, this character is often used in mathematical expressions and symbolic notations to indicate an inequality relationship between two values. It is a part of the Mathematical Operators block in Unicode, which includes various symbols used to represent arithmetic and logical operators, as well as relational operators like greater than or equal to. The "Greater-Than Or Slanted Equal To With Dot Above" symbol stands out due to its unique appearance, featuring a straight line with an upward slant and a single dot above the baseline. While it is not as widely used in everyday digital text communication, this symbol can be significant in fields such as mathematics, computer science, engineering, and physics where precise representations of relationships and conditions are crucial. The character's distinct design and placement within the Unicode standard contribute to its value as a clear and concise representation for such specific applications.
