Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➽ has the Unicode code point U+27BD. 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+27BD to binary:
00100111 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+27BD, known as the Heavy Wedge-tailed Rightwards Arrow, is a mathematical symbol that plays a crucial role in digital text representation. This typographical glyph is often used in mathematical equations and scientific notations to denote rightward flow or directionality. Its heavy wedge-tailed design distinguishes it from other rightward arrows like the simple ">" symbol, making it more suitable for complex diagrams and equations. While this character may not have a specific cultural or linguistic context, its precise use in digital text ensures accurate communication of mathematical concepts and directions across different platforms and programming languages. By incorporating U+27BD into digital texts, users can avoid potential confusion or misinterpretation that might arise from using less distinct symbols for rightward flow.
