Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫸ has the Unicode code point U+2AF8. 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+2AF8 to binary:
00101010 11111000. 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 10101011 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+2AF8, known as the Triple Nested Greater Than (≽), serves a specialized role in digital text, predominantly within mathematical and scientific domains. Its primary function is to represent an inequality operator with a specific hierarchy or precedence level, enabling it to be used in expressions that demand complex comparisons or calculations. This character is particularly useful in algorithms and programming where precise order of operations must be maintained. It is not commonly encountered outside these contexts, as it lacks cultural, linguistic, or general typographical significance.
