Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪠ has the Unicode code point U+2AA0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2AA0 to binary:
00101010 10100000
. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+2AA0 is known as the Similar Above Greater-Than Above Equals Sign. This typographical symbol plays a crucial role in digital text, primarily in mathematics and symbolic representations. It is often used to depict relationships between multiple elements, such as comparing similarities in complex mathematical equations or logical statements. The character offers an essential tool for accurate communication of these concepts, facilitating clarity and precision. In certain technical contexts, U+2AA0 may also be employed in programming languages and software applications that require a nuanced comparison of similar elements. Despite being less common than other Unicode characters, the Similar Above Greater-Than Above Equals Sign remains an indispensable tool for those working with advanced mathematics, logic, or specialized technical fields.
