Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ◷ has the Unicode code point U+25F7. 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+25F7 to binary:
00100101 11110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+25F7, also known as the White Circle with Upper Right Quadrant, is a versatile typographic symbol commonly employed in digital text to represent a variety of concepts across different fields. In mathematics, it serves as an indicator for open or closed intervals within real numbers, denoting that values on the left side are less than or equal to, and values on the right side are greater than or equal to a specific number. In computer programming, U+25F7 is frequently used to signify an empty cell in tables or grids, providing visual cues for users when data is not present. It also plays a role in graphic design as a simple, unobtrusive graphic element that can be easily inserted and manipulated within digital layouts. Although it may not carry significant cultural or linguistic significance on its own, U+25F7's flexibility and adaptability make it an essential tool for clear communication across various disciplines in the digital world.
