Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮍ has the Unicode code point U+2B8D. 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+2B8D to binary:
00101011 10001101. 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 10101110 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+2B8D, also known as the Anticlockwise Triangle-Headed Bottom U-Shaped Arrow, is a specialized typographical symbol that plays a crucial role in digital text. Its primary function is to depict an arrow pointing downwards and curving anticlockwise at its tip, resembling a U shape. This character is predominantly used in mathematical expressions, particularly those involving vector calculus or geometry. It helps to clearly indicate the direction of vectors, specifically when defining rotational transformations or expressing rotational matrix operations in a two-dimensional space. The Anticlockwise Triangle-Headed Bottom U-Shaped Arrow symbol has no notable cultural or linguistic significance, and its usage is primarily confined to technical contexts such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Its presence in digital text ensures the accurate communication of complex concepts and processes, thereby contributing to clarity and precision in these specialized fields.
