Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D2C. 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+2D2C to binary:
00101101 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+2D2C, also known as the RIGHT DOUBLE ARROW (››), holds a crucial role in digital typography and text representation. It is often used to indicate a rightward pointing double arrow or "greater-than" sign, which helps to denote direction or flow in various digital contexts such as coding, programming, and mathematical equations. This symbol is particularly prevalent in algorithmic descriptions, comparisons, and data flow diagrams, where it efficiently illustrates the order of operations or progression of information. Despite its technical nature, the Right Double Arrow has no specific cultural or linguistic significance, making it a universally applicable symbol within digital text.
