Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪕ has the Unicode code point U+2A95. 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+2A95 to binary:
00101010 10010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2A95 is known as the "Slanted Equal to or Less-Than" symbol (⪯). This typographic representation is used in digital text to illustrate a comparison between two values, expressing that one value is either equal to or less than another. While it shares similarities with the standard less-than sign (<), the slanted orientation of U+2A95 provides additional visual clarity when differentiating between equality and strict inequality in mathematical expressions and computational contexts. It is particularly useful in instances where the traditional symbols may be misinterpreted or cause confusion due to their similar appearances. Although not widely used, this character holds significance for its precise communication of relationships between numerical or logical values.
