Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭛ has the Unicode code point U+2B5B. 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+2B5B to binary:
00101011 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+2B5B, known as the "BACKSLANTED SOUTH ARROW WITH HOOKED TAIL", is a specialized typographic symbol used in digital text for mathematical and technical notations. It is primarily employed to depict certain mathematical concepts and functions within the field of vector analysis, where it represents an operator that rotates vectors in two or three-dimensional space. The character's unique design, which features a backslanted south arrow with a hooked tail, serves a specific purpose in visually distinguishing it from other arrows commonly used in mathematical notations. While this symbol is not widely recognized in everyday digital text use, its importance lies in the accuracy and clarity it provides when representing complex mathematical concepts and operations.
