Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➛ has the Unicode code point U+279B. 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+279B to binary:
00100111 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+279B Drafting Point Rightwards Arrow is a typographical character used primarily in digital text for mathematical, engineering, and scientific notation. Its role is to denote the movement of an object or vector in the rightward direction, typically in drafting, drawing, and technical documents. This arrow can be particularly useful in representing mathematical operations, physics formulas, and computer graphics, where clear and concise visual representation of vectors and directions are crucial for effective communication. Despite its relatively niche application, this character plays an important role in precise and detailed textual contexts that demand exactness and accuracy.
