Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➡ has the Unicode code point U+27A1. 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+27A1 to binary:
00100111 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+27A1 represents the "Black Rightwards Arrow" (⇥) and is commonly used in digital text to denote a directional change towards the right. This symbol plays a significant role in programming languages, markup languages, and software applications as an arrowhead for flowcharts, pseudocode, and diagrams, enabling users to illustrate various logical processes and algorithms efficiently. Additionally, U+27A1 is employed in mathematical notation systems and technical documentation to indicate the rightward movement of a vector or a variable within computational equations. Although it holds no specific cultural or linguistic significance, this character is universally recognized by developers, mathematicians, and other professionals who work with text-based symbols for directional representation.
