Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟜ has the Unicode code point U+27DC. 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+27DC to binary:
00100111 11011100. 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 10011111 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+27DC, also known as the Left MultiMap symbol, plays a crucial role in digital typography and programming. It is primarily used to represent a leftward arrow within a multi-directional map or graphical representation of data. This character is particularly valuable in computer graphics, software development, and data visualization, where it facilitates the mapping of complex relationships between elements or values. In these contexts, U+27DC serves as an essential tool for enhancing clarity and improving user experience. Despite its relatively obscure nature compared to other Unicode characters, the Left MultiMap symbol remains a vital component in modern digital communication and information technology.
