Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪷ has the Unicode code point U+2AB7. 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+2AB7 to binary:
00101010 10110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+2AB7 is known as the "PRECEDES ABOVE ALMOST EQUAL TO" symbol. It is a mathematical sign used in digital text to denote an inequality relationship between two numbers or expressions. Specifically, it is employed to indicate that the first expression precedes the second expression by almost an equal amount. This character can be particularly useful in various fields such as computer programming, engineering, and scientific research where precise comparisons need to be made with a degree of approximation. However, its usage has been somewhat limited due to the relatively recent introduction of this symbol into the Unicode standard.
