Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➲ has the Unicode code point U+27B2. 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+27B2 to binary:
00100111 10110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+27B2 represents the "CIRCLED HEAVY WHITE RIGHTWARDS ARROW." In digital text, this symbol is used to indicate a rightward arrow within a circle. It plays a crucial role in various technical and mathematical contexts, where it helps to clarify the direction of flow or movement in diagrams, algorithms, and mathematical equations. Its heavy and circular design sets it apart from the simpler, straight right-arrow symbol (U+00BB), enhancing readability and making it easier for readers to distinguish between the two directions: rightward and other possible directions like leftward, upward, or downward. Though it doesn't have a specific cultural or linguistic context, its usage in technical documentation and educational materials can contribute to the clarity and accuracy of information being conveyed. Overall, U+27B2 is an essential tool for conveying complex ideas and processes accurately in digital text.
