Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➰ has the Unicode code point U+27B0. 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+27B0 to binary:
00100111 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+27B0, known as the Curlie Loop, is a versatile typographical symbol often employed in digital text for its aesthetic appeal and varied applications. Typically used in informal contexts or creative writing, it serves to add a touch of whimsy or flair to otherwise plain text. The Curlie Loop has no specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context as such, but it is often used in programming languages and software development for creating cursive, hand-drawn-like symbols and characters. Developers may use it to represent a loop, especially in the context of coding and algorithms. Although its usage might be considered informal or decorative in some scenarios, the Curlie Loop plays a significant role as an essential part of modern typography and digital communication.
