Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪳ has the Unicode code point U+2AB3. 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+2AB3 to binary:
00101010 10110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+2AB3, known as the "PRECEDES ABOVE EQUALS SIGN," serves a specific purpose in digital text. It is often used to indicate a mathematical relationship between two expressions or variables within a given context. In particular, it signifies that the expression on its left precedes the one on its right when comparing or evaluating their values. This character finds significant use in computer science and engineering fields where precise mathematical relationships are crucial for accurate calculations and algorithms. Despite being lesser-known compared to other common math symbols, the U+2AB3 character plays a vital role in digital texts that require high levels of accuracy in their representations and formulas.
