Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪓ has the Unicode code point U+2A93. 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+2A93 to binary:
00101010 10010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2A93, known as LESS-THAN ABOVE SLANTED EQUAL ABOVE GREATER-THAN ABOVE SLANTED EQUAL, is a specialized symbol used in digital text. This typographic character is part of the Mathematical Operators block within Unicode, and its primary role is to represent an inequality relationship between two variables in mathematical expressions. The slanted equal signs above the less-than and greater-than symbols emphasize that the inequality is not equal to zero or any other value but remains within a certain range. This character is predominantly used in fields such as mathematics, computer science, engineering, and physics for precise representation of mathematical relationships, particularly inequalities. Although it may not be commonly seen in everyday writing, it plays an essential role in academic and professional contexts where accurate expression of mathematical relationships is crucial.
