Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⃐ has the Unicode code point U+20D0. 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+20D0 to binary:
00100000 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+20D0, COMBINING LEFT HARPOON ABOVE, is a typographic element typically employed in digital text to create visually distinctive or stylized letterforms. It can be applied to any uppercase or lowercase letter to lend a unique look, often used for artistic or creative purposes in print and web design. In the context of Unicode standards, U+20D0 is part of the "Combining Diacritical Marks" category, which includes various symbols that can be combined with other characters to modify their appearance or meaning. While it doesn't serve a linguistic function in any specific language, the COMBINING LEFT HARPOON ABOVE has been used in wordplay, logos, and other design elements where a subtle emphasis or a playful touch is desired.
