Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➜ has the Unicode code point U+279C. 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+279C to binary:
00100111 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+279C is known as the Heavy Round-Tipped Rightwards Arrow (⇉). This symbol is commonly used in digital text to represent rightward motion with a specific emphasis on directionality. It differs from other arrows in that its rounded tip gives it a unique visual appearance, which can be especially useful in diagrams and flowcharts where clarity of meaning is crucial. In mathematical contexts, this character might be used to indicate an operation or process that moves data from one location or variable to another. In programming languages, the Heavy Round-Tipped Rightwards Arrow could denote a function's output, or it could symbolize a redirect in hypertext and markup languages like HTML. The Heavy Round-Tipped Rightwards Arrow is not associated with any particular culture or language but has universal applicability across different digital platforms. Its versatility makes it an important tool for digital communication, allowing users to convey complex ideas about directionality and flow in a clear and concise manner.
