Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭯ has the Unicode code point U+2B6F. 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+2B6F to binary:
00101011 01101111. 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 10101101 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+2B6F, known as the Anticlockwise Triangle-Headed Open Circle Arrow, is a specialized symbol used in digital text to represent an open circle arrow pointing in an anticlockwise direction. Its primary usage lies within mathematical formulas and diagrams, specifically when dealing with complex rotational operations or geometric transformations. The character helps convey the idea of rotation or movement in a counterclockwise manner, which can be essential in various technical fields such as computer graphics, mathematics, and engineering. Although it is not a widely used symbol outside these specialized contexts, its presence in Unicode ensures accessibility and compatibility across different programming languages and software systems.
