Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⇰ has the Unicode code point U+21F0. 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+21F0 to binary:
00100001 11110000. 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 10000111 10110000

Description
U+21F0 is a lesser-known character within the Unicode standard, representing the "RIGHTWARDS WHITE ARROW FROM WALL" symbol. This character primarily serves as an arrow pointing to the right in digital text, often used in conjunction with other symbols or characters to indicate navigation or directionality within a specific context. The RIGHTWARDS WHITE ARROW FROM WALL is not widely utilized and may be found within specialized applications, technical documentation, or even in certain types of computer games. However, it remains an essential tool for precise communication in those particular fields. Its role is significant in providing clear directional cues, which are crucial in various cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts where visual clarification is necessary.
