Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪇ has the Unicode code point U+2A87. 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+2A87 to binary:
00101010 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2A87, known as the "LESS-THAN AND SINGLE-LINE NOT EQUAL TO" symbol (<≠), is a crucial component in digital text for expressing mathematical and logical comparisons. It serves to represent an inequality between two values or variables, which is fundamental in various fields such as mathematics, computer programming, and data analysis. This essential symbol allows users to distinguish between equalities and inequalities, making it indispensable for accurate communication of complex relationships and conditions. U+2A87's clear distinction from its counterpart "LESS-THAN AND DOUBLE-LINE NOT EQUAL TO" (U+2260) emphasizes the significance of understanding the difference between single-line and double-line symbols in the realm of mathematics and programming.
