Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2EFA. 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+2EFA to binary:
00101110 11111010. 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 10111011 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+2EFA is a typographical symbol representing the "Combining Double Arrowhead." In digital text, this character is often used to create arrows with distinctive arrowheads, particularly in mathematical or engineering contexts where precision and clarity are crucial. Its typical usage involves combining with other characters, such as letters or digits, to create specific symbols or indicators. For instance, it can be combined with the Latin capital letter 'A' (U+0041) to form a reverse arrow symbol (<=>). This character is not associated with any particular cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts outside of its role as a versatile typographical component. Due to its limited usage in everyday text and specialized applications, U+2EFA remains a niche character within the vast Unicode standard.
