Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮮ has the Unicode code point U+2BAE. 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+2BAE to binary:
00101011 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+2BAE, also known as the "Black Curved Leftwards and Downwards Arrow," is a specialized typographical symbol with specific roles in digital text. It is often used in programming languages and mathematical expressions to represent various directions or flows, particularly when dealing with vectors, arrows, or directional changes. In some cases, it might be employed to denote the left-downward direction in certain cultural or linguistic contexts, though its primary usage remains within technical domains. Due to its specialized nature, it is crucial for developers and mathematicians to understand this character's role and applications accurately. As part of the Unicode Standard, the Black Curved Leftwards and Downwards Arrow contributes to a diverse range of text-based communication methods across different languages, platforms, and devices worldwide.
