Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⃔ has the Unicode code point U+20D4. 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+20D4 to binary:
00100000 11010100. 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 10000011 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+20D4, known as the COMBINING ANTICLOCKWISE ARROW ABOVE, is a typographic symbol used in digital text. It is part of the Unicode standard, which aims to represent all characters and symbols from every written language in the world. This specific character is not commonly used but has a unique role when it appears in text. The COMBINING ANTICLOCKWISE ARROW ABOVE is combined with another character to modify its appearance by placing an anticlockwise arrow above the base character, giving the illusion of a spinning or rotating effect. This could be utilized in various contexts such as mathematical equations, linguistic expressions, or computer programming languages where rotational orientation is essential. However, due to its specific and niche usage, it may not have any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of these specialized fields. Overall, the U+20D4 COMBINING ANTICLOCKWISE ARROW ABOVE serves a unique function within digital typography, demonstrating the versatility and breadth of the Unicode character set.
