Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ↰ has the Unicode code point U+21B0. 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+21B0 to binary:
00100001 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+21B0, known as the "Upwards Arrow with Tip Leftwards," is a mathematical symbol that holds significance in digital text for its use within various fields such as computer programming, mathematics, and physics. Its primary role is to represent an upward-pointing arrow that has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise, making its tip point leftwards. This character is often employed in equations and logical statements to depict the notion of "greater than" or "increasing," as well as in algorithms and computer code to signify flow directions or data movement. While it may not be widely recognized by the general public, this specific symbol plays a crucial role within these specialized contexts for its ability to visually clarify complex concepts and relationships between variables.
