Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭶ has the Unicode code point U+2B76. 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+2B76 to binary:
00101011 01110110. 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 10101101 10110110

Description
U+2B76, the North West Triangle-Headed Arrow to Bar character, is a lesser-known symbol in Unicode, which holds significant importance in typography. This character serves as an essential tool for technical writers, mathematicians, and computer scientists who frequently work with digital text formatting and notation systems. Its role involves connecting arrows that lead to a horizontal line or bar, often used in flowcharts, diagrams, and mathematical expressions to represent the direction of movement, process flow, or vector fields. While this character is not as prominent as others in Unicode, it plays an indispensable part in conveying complex ideas and relationships efficiently within specific technical and linguistic contexts.
