Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪀ has the Unicode code point U+2A80. 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+2A80 to binary:
00101010 10000000
. 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 10000000
GREATER-THAN OR SLANTED EQUAL TO WITH DOT INSIDE·U+2A80

Description
The Unicode character U+2A80 represents the "Greater-Than Or Slanted Equal To With Dot Inside" symbol. This typographical mark is often used in digital text to denote a mathematical relation where an expression is greater than or equal to another expression, particularly in computer programming and mathematical notation. The symbol resembles the standard greater-than sign (U+003E), but features a distinctive slanted orientation and a dot placed inside the leftward-pointing angle of the symbol. Although not widely used across various languages, its inclusion in Unicode ensures that it can be utilized within any digital text environment to maintain consistent representation and meaning across different platforms and systems.
