Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪬ has the Unicode code point U+2AAC. 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+2AAC to binary:
00101010 10101100
. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+2AAC, known as "SMALLER THAN OR EQUAL TO" (≤), is a mathematical symbol primarily used in digital text for expressing the concept of inequality. It serves to represent a situation where a value or expression on the left side of the operator is less than or equal to the value or expression on the right side. In computer programming, this character is extensively employed in various coding languages and mathematical expressions, ensuring accuracy and consistency across digital platforms. Despite its prevalence in technical contexts, the SMALLER THAN OR EQUAL TO symbol has not garnered significant cultural, linguistic, or artistic attention due to its primarily functional role in digital text.
