Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮫ has the Unicode code point U+2BAB. 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+2BAB to binary:
00101011 10101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+2BAB, the Black Curved Upwards and Rightwards Arrow, is a typographical symbol primarily utilized in mathematical and scientific texts for its role in representing the concept of a vector or directional change. This character is part of the Unicode Standard, which allows for consistent representation and communication of text across various platforms and devices. In digital text, it serves to depict a specific orientation or direction, often indicating an upward movement that also veers rightwards. While it may not have cultural or linguistic significance, it holds great importance in technical contexts such as physics, engineering, and computer science where the representation of directions, vectors, or changes in orientation are fundamental concepts.
