Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➵ has the Unicode code point U+27B5. 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+27B5 to binary:
00100111 10110101. 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 10011110 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+27B5, known as the "Black-Feathered Rightwards Arrow", is a valuable symbol in typography and digital text formatting. Its primary role is to indicate rightward movement or direction in various mathematical equations, flowcharts, and diagrams. In programming and computer science, it serves an important function in algorithms and data manipulation tasks where the concept of shifting or moving elements is prevalent. The character is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block in Unicode, which includes a wide range of characters that do not fit into any of the other standard blocks. There isn't any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with this particular symbol. However, its broad application across different fields and its ability to clearly indicate direction make it an indispensable tool in modern digital communication and data processing.
