Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪖ has the Unicode code point U+2A96. 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+2A96 to binary:
00101010 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+2A96, also known as the SLANTED EQUAL TO OR GREATER-THAN symbol (≽), is a mathematical symbol that plays an essential role in digital text, particularly in algebra and calculus. It is used to denote inequality in expressions where a variable is greater than or equal to a specified value when slanted, as opposed to the typical upright orientation of the greater-than sign (>). While its usage might be relatively less common compared to other mathematical symbols, it serves an important purpose in providing clarity and precision in the presentation of mathematical equations and expressions. The character's unique design, which features a right-angled diagonal line connecting the top of the vertical bar (|) with the horizontal bar, contributes to its distinctiveness and overall visual appeal. Despite not having any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its mathematical application, U+2A96 remains an indispensable tool for accurate communication in digital text.
