Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⪸ has the Unicode code point U+2AB8. 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+2AB8 to binary:
00101010 10111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+2AB8 is a Unicode character code that represents the typographical symbol "SUCCEEDS ABOVE ALMOST EQUAL TO." This symbol is an uppercase letter from the Latin alphabet, specifically capitalized 'S' with a superscripted fraction above it, and it is used in mathematics and computer science to represent a specific mathematical concept. In digital text, it typically denotes the success of a certain function or operation that is almost equal to another value. This symbol can be found in various contexts including algebraic equations, set theory, and computer programming languages, where it serves as an important tool for precise expression and calculation. Despite its relatively recent inclusion into the Unicode standard (U+2AB8 was only added in 2019), it has gained significant traction within these fields due to its ability to convey complex ideas with concise clarity.
