Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪞ has the Unicode code point U+2A9E. 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+2A9E to binary:
00101010 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A9E represents the "Similar or Greater-Than" symbol (⋍), which is used in digital text to express a relationship between two values. This mathematical symbol is utilized in various fields, such as set theory and computer science, to compare elements within sets or determine if one value is greater than or equal to another. Unlike the standard greater-than sign (>, U+003E), the Similar or Greater-Than symbol (⋍) can also be used to show similarity or equality between values, making it a versatile choice for applications that require a more nuanced comparison. Despite not being as widely recognized as other mathematical symbols, the U+2A9E character plays an essential role in enhancing communication and clarifying relationships within digital text.
