Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟢ has the Unicode code point U+27E2. 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+27E2 to binary:
00100111 11100010. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+27E2, known as the White Concave-Sided Diamond with Leftwards Tick, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for its unique visual representation. It combines the shape of a concave-sided diamond with an arrow pointing to the left, creating a distinctive symbol that stands out from common typography elements. This character finds its usage primarily in graphic design and layout, where it can be employed as an indicator or directional cue within text content or visual material. In certain contexts, it may also be used to represent a specific action, such as negating or rejecting an idea, due to the leftward-pointing arrow. While U+27E2 does not have strong cultural, linguistic, or technical associations, its versatility in digital text design and layout contributes to its value in visual communication.
