Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪨ has the Unicode code point U+2AA8. 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+2AA8 to binary:
00101010 10101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+2AA8 is a Unicode character representing the "LESS-THAN CLOSED BY CURVE ABOVE SLANTED EQUAL" symbol. This special character is mainly used in digital text for its specific mathematical or technical contexts, where it serves as an indicator of inequality between two expressions. Specifically, in these applications, it denotes the less-than relation within a closed interval or range. Although not as widely utilized in everyday language, it holds significance in fields such as computer programming, mathematics, and digital typography due to its ability to provide clarity and precision when expressing relationships between values or data sets.
