Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟝ has the Unicode code point U+27DD. 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+27DD to binary:
00100111 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+27DD is known as the LONG RIGHT TACK (❧), which is a typographical symbol used in digital text. This character typically serves as an arrow pointing to the right, often employed in various contexts, such as diagrams and flowcharts. However, it is essential to note that its usage may vary depending on the cultural, linguistic, or technical context where it is applied. The LONG RIGHT TACK is not commonly used in day-to-day text but can be found in specialized documents and computer programming where arrows are needed for navigation or indicating direction.
