Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⇮ has the Unicode code point U+21EE. 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+21EE to binary:
00100001 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+21EE, also known as the Upwards White Double Arrow, serves a critical function within digital text communication. This symbol is frequently employed in mathematical equations, software programming, and scientific notation to indicate an upward movement or increasing trend. In mathematical contexts, it's used for expressing vector-like entities that point upwards. It also plays a crucial role in programming languages where it denotes an increase in value or degree, often seen in control structures like loops. The character is part of the Mathematical Operators block within Unicode and represents a double arrow pointing upward, symbolizing either an inequality greater than or a vector moving towards higher values. Its usage does not vary significantly across different cultures or languages due to its universal applicability in mathematical and programming contexts. Despite its simple appearance, this character is integral to precise and effective communication of complex concepts in various disciplines.
