Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⃗ has the Unicode code point U+20D7. 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+20D7 to binary:
00100000 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+20D7, known as the COMBINING RIGHT ARROW ABOVE, is a specialized glyph primarily employed in digital text to create symbols that include an arrow pointing to the right. It does not have any inherent meaning on its own but serves as a component within composite characters or typographic designs. This character plays a crucial role in languages and scripts where directional indicators are necessary for clarification. In some mathematical expressions, it can be used to indicate that a value is greater than another value. The COMBINING RIGHT ARROW ABOVE is often paired with other Unicode characters such as the COMBINING LEFT ARROW ABOVE (U+20D6) and COMBINING DOWN ARROW ABOVE (U+20D8), forming directional indicators in various contexts. It is important to note that while this character does not hold any cultural, linguistic, or technical significance on its own, it serves as a critical component for creating meaningful symbols in digital text across different languages and applications.
