Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⃮ has the Unicode code point U+20EE. 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+20EE to binary:
00100000 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+20EE, known as the COMBINING LEFT ARROW BELOW, plays a crucial role in typography and digital text. It is primarily used to combine with other characters or symbols to create new ones that convey distinct meanings. For instance, when combined with the Latin letter "A" (U+0041), it forms the "Ae" character, which has a specific linguistic significance in Old English and several modern languages. The COMBINING LEFT ARROW BELOW also finds applications in technical writing, such as diagrams or flowcharts, to depict directional relationships or data flow within complex systems. Despite its relatively obscure usage, this Unicode character is an essential tool for conveying precise meaning and clarity in various contexts.
