Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ◮ has the Unicode code point U+25EE. 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+25EE to binary:
00100101 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+25EE, also known as the UP-POINTING TRIANGLE WITH RIGHT HALF BLACK, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character is part of the Unicode standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character used across different languages and platforms. The UP-POINTING TRIANGLE WITH RIGHT HALF BLACK is a graphical symbol often used to denote an upward pointing triangle with a blacked out right half. The primary usage of U+25EE in digital text is to provide visual cues for flowcharts, diagrams, or any other illustrations that require directional indicators. It can be particularly useful in creating arrows in situations where the traditional arrow symbol might not fit due to spacing constraints or design requirements. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical context, U+25EE does not have any particular association with a specific culture or language. However, its versatility makes it valuable across different fields, including science, mathematics, computer programming, and graphic design. The UP-POINTING TRIANGLE WITH RIGHT HALF BLACK contributes to the richness of digital text representation by providing an additional tool for clearer and more engaging communication.
