Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ◥ has the Unicode code point U+25E5. 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+25E5 to binary:
00100101 11100101. 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 10010111 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+25E5, known as the Black Upper Right Triangle, is a geometric symbol that primarily serves a role in digital text for representing an open angle or a directional indicator. It is often used in diagrams, flowcharts, and mathematical notations to denote an upward-opening right triangle. The character's shape consists of a thick, black triangle pointing to the upper right corner. In technical contexts, U+25E5 is utilized in ASCII art, where it helps create visual effects or illustrate concepts without relying on color or complex graphics. It is also employed in programming and markup languages for structuring text layout and formatting. Although this symbol doesn't have any specific cultural or linguistic significance, it does contribute to clearer communication and improved readability in various digital applications.
