Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪑ has the Unicode code point U+2A91. 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+2A91 to binary:
00101010 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
The character U+2A91 represents the "LESS-THAN ABOVE GREATER-THAN ABOVE DOUBLE-LINE EQUAL" symbol in Unicode. This typographical element is primarily employed in mathematical notation and digital text to signify an inequality relationship between two values, specifically when both values are unequal or not equivalent. In the context of computer programming and software development, the U+2A91 character plays a crucial role in representing comparisons in conditional statements and logical expressions. This symbol is particularly useful in mathematical and scientific fields where precise representation of relationships and inequalities between numerical values is essential for accurate communication and understanding. It also helps avoid confusion that may arise from using textual descriptions or less explicit symbols to convey the same meaning.
