Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➺ has the Unicode code point U+27BA. 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+27BA to binary:
00100111 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+27BA represents the Teardrop-Barbed Rightwards Arrow. This typographical symbol is commonly used in digital text for its distinct appearance, resembling a teardrop with barbs at its tail end. Its primary role is to indicate rightward flow or direction, often in mathematical equations, diagrams, and programming languages where directional arrows are needed. The U+27BA character's unique design sets it apart from other arrow symbols and provides a visual distinction when used to denote rightward movement or direction.
