Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪘ has the Unicode code point U+2A98. 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+2A98 to binary:
00101010 10011000
. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+2A98, known as the "Slanted Equal To Or Greater-Than With Dot Inside" symbol (≽), is a typographic representation that can be utilized in digital text to express an inequality or comparison between two values. Although this specific glyph may not have widespread usage like more commonly recognized symbols such as the greater-than sign (>) or the equal sign (=), it does serve a unique purpose within specialized contexts, such as mathematical notation or programming languages where the slanted orientation and dot inside can help differentiate its meaning from other similar symbols. The character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block in Unicode, which consists of characters primarily used for technical purposes, such as representing control characters, mathematical symbols, or other special notations.
