Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ↛ has the Unicode code point U+219B. 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+219B to binary:
00100001 10011011. 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 10000110 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+219B, known as the "RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH STROKE," serves a specific purpose within the realm of typography and digital text. This symbol is typically employed to denote rightward movement or directionality in various mathematical expressions, computer programming contexts, and other situations where arrows are utilized to indicate direction or flow. Unlike a standard right arrow, the RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH STROKE possesses an additional horizontal line that runs through its center, giving it a distinct visual appearance. This stroke is believed to have originated from a shorthand notation used by Leonhard Euler in his mathematical writings, which he employed as an alternative to the standard right arrow symbol. Although not widely used, this character's unique appearance can be seen in specific programming languages and mathematical texts where its inclusion aids in readability and clarity.
