Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⃕ has the Unicode code point U+20D5. 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+20D5 to binary:
00100000 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+20D5, known as the COMBINING CLOCKWISE ARROW ABOVE, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to depict a clockwise arrow rotating above a base character. In its typical usage, it serves to visually indicate rotation or movement in a clockwise direction when combined with other characters in text, such as mathematical equations, scientific notation, or computer programming. The COMBINING CLOCKWISE ARROW ABOVE is not widely used in everyday language and has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context, making it a specialized symbol primarily employed by experts in the fields of mathematics, computer science, or engineering.
