Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D6D. 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+2D6D to binary:
00101101 01101101. 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 10110101 10101101

Description
U+2D6D is a character within the Unicode standard, specifically belonging to the Supplemental Arrows-A category. This character, known as "Downwards Arrow with Tail to the Right", serves as an important symbol in digital text for mathematical and technical documents. It is used to represent a downward arrow pointing to the right side, often employed in diagrams or equations to illustrate the direction of flow or movement. This specific arrow variant can be found in several different fonts and styles, but it is universally recognized as a symbol for indicating downward motion with an added tail to the right. U+2D6D holds no direct linguistic significance, but its use in various contexts contributes significantly to clarity and precision in digital communication.
