Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮏ has the Unicode code point U+2B8F. 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+2B8F to binary:
00101011 10001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+2B8F, known as the Anticlockwise Triangle-Headed T-Shaped Arrow, is a specialized mathematical symbol used in digital text to represent a specific type of transformation or mapping. It combines an anticlockwise arrowhead with a T-shaped arrow, indicating that a rotation occurs together with a transformation along the x and y axes. This character is primarily used in fields such as mathematics, computer graphics, and design where precise representation of geometric transformations is crucial. Its unique combination of elements makes it particularly useful for describing certain types of mappings and transformations, especially those involving rotation and scaling.
