Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E71. 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+2E71 to binary:
00101110 01110001. 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 10111001 10110001

Description
U+2E71, also known as the Black Rightward-Pointing Triangle, is a typographical character that holds significant importance in digital text. This symbol is predominantly used to indicate continuation or to suggest the reader "see page X for more information." The character is an essential component of certain programming languages and markup languages like HTML, where it serves as a key element in defining directional flow within the content. In technical documents, U+2E71 is frequently employed in the creation of navigation menus or flowcharts due to its intuitive, arrow-like appearance. Despite being less commonly used than other arrow symbols in linguistic contexts, it remains a valuable tool for precise and unambiguous communication in digital text. Its rarity lends it an air of exclusivity and intrigue, making it a favorite among designers and developers seeking to add a touch of uniqueness to their work.
