Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➨ has the Unicode code point U+27A8. 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+27A8 to binary:
00100111 10101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+27A8, the HEAVY CONCAVE-POINTED BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW, is a typographical symbol with a unique role in digital text. This character belongs to the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a uniform system for representing characters from all written languages globally. The HEAVY CONCAVE-POINTED BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW primarily serves as an indicator of direction in various technical contexts such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering. It is often used in diagrams, equations, or algorithms to show the rightward movement of elements, processes, or data flow. In mathematical expressions, the arrow may represent a vector's direction or a change in value from one point to another. In computer programming, it can be employed to signal the flow of control within an algorithm, such as in conditional statements and loop constructs. Additionally, the HEAVY CONCAVE-POINTED BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW is utilized in technical drawings or schematics to illustrate the movement of electric current, airflow, or any other linear process in a system. Although the HEAVY CONCAVE-POINTED BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW is not culturally significant or linguistically specific, its precise and versatile application across various fields makes it an essential symbol for clear communication and understanding in both digital and traditional text formats.
