Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮭ has the Unicode code point U+2BAD. 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+2BAD to binary:
00101011 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
The character U+2BAD, also known as the Black Curved Rightwards and Upwards Arrow, plays a significant role in digital typography, particularly in mathematical expressions and scientific notations. This symbol is used to represent a curved arrow pointing diagonally upward and to the right, serving as a visual cue for vector transformations or changes in direction. Its unique shape distinguishes it from other similar arrows, such as the straight rightwards or upwards arrows. The U+2BAD character is especially useful in computer programming and mathematical equations, where precise directions and orientations are crucial. In technical contexts, this character might be found in software applications like LaTeX, a document preparation system commonly used in academia, or in digital font design programs to create custom typographic elements. Although it doesn't have a specific cultural or linguistic context, the U+2BAD character is an essential tool for clear and accurate communication in specialized fields that rely on mathematical notation and digital text representation.
