Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➻ has the Unicode code point U+27BB. 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+27BB to binary:
00100111 10111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+27BB is known as the "HEAVY TEARDROP-SHANKED RIGHTWARDS ARROW". It plays a crucial role in digital text representation and communication, serving a specific purpose in mathematics and computer science. Its primary function is to represent a mathematical concept called 'rightward heavy arrow', which indicates direction or flow in equations or algorithms. This character is frequently used in programming and technical documentation to symbolize rightward movement, transitions, or operations in code sequences. However, it doesn't have any notable cultural, linguistic, or contextual implications beyond its usage in specialized fields of mathematics and computer science. As a result, the U+27BB character is an essential part of digital text communication within these specific areas, contributing to precise and efficient information exchange.
