Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪃ has the Unicode code point U+2A83. 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+2A83 to binary:
00101010 10000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+2A83, also known as LESS-THAN OR SLANTED EQUAL TO WITH DOT ABOVE RIGHT, is a unique Unicode character that plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within mathematical and technical documentation. This symbol is often used to represent an inequality or a less than or equal to operator with a slant, providing clear distinction from the standard greater than or equal to operator (U+2A82). The dot above the symbol serves as an important visual cue to distinguish it from similar characters, ensuring precise communication and understanding in various fields such as computer science, engineering, and mathematics. While U+2A83 may not be widely recognized across all cultures or languages, its technical significance within specific contexts cannot be understated, making it a valuable addition to the Unicode character set.
