Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮩ has the Unicode code point U+2BA9. 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+2BA9 to binary:
00101011 10101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2BA9, known as the "BLACK CURVED DOWNWARDS AND RIGHTWARDS ARROW", is a vital symbol in digital text, especially within mathematical equations or scientific notations. It serves to represent an action of turning right while moving downwards, providing a visual aid for readers. This arrowhead is often used in programming languages and algorithms to denote directional flow, specifically where the direction changes from vertical to horizontal or vice versa. Its usage transcends language barriers due to its universality within Unicode, making it an essential tool for international communication in various technical and mathematical fields. Despite its simplicity, this arrowhead plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding and reducing misinterpretation of complex information.
