Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭝ has the Unicode code point U+2B5D. 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+2B5D to binary:
00101011 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
The character U+2B5D, known as the BACKSLANTED SOUTH ARROW WITH HORIZONTAL TAIL, is a specialized typographic symbol in the Unicode Standard. In digital text, it primarily serves as a technical or mathematical symbol, often used to represent specific arrows with distinct directions and features. This particular arrow points southwards at an angle while also featuring a horizontal tail. The inclusion of such a character can be crucial for the clarity and accuracy of information in fields like mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science, where precise representation of directional vectors is essential. As an example, it may appear in diagrams or equations that involve south-pointing arrows or other similar geometrical constructs. Despite its specificity and limited usage, the BACKSLANTED SOUTH ARROW WITH HORIZONTAL TAIL plays a vital role in communicating complex information accurately across various technical disciplines.
