Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D2B. 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+2D2B to binary:
00101101 00101011. 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 10110100 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+2D2B represents a specific symbol with the value ⤺. In digital text, this character is typically used to represent a direction indicator in certain languages or scripts. For instance, it may denote a right-to-left override (RLO) in Unicode Text Encoding. This is especially relevant for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and other right-to-left (RTL) scripts that require their text to be displayed from right to left. By employing the U+2D2B character, it ensures that the subsequent characters are rendered in the correct script direction. In a broader context, this character plays a crucial role in supporting multilingualism and ensuring accurate representation of various languages and scripts in digital communication. The use of Unicode characters like ⤺ contributes to the globalization and accessibility of information across different linguistic communities.
