Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭓ has the Unicode code point U+2B53. 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+2B53 to binary:
00101011 01010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2B53 is the "Black Right-Pointing Pentagon" (BLACK RIGHT-POINTING PENTAGON). It is a typographic symbol used in digital text for mathematical notation, particularly in geometry, where it represents a directional arrow in the shape of a pentagon. This character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical (U+2700..U+2BFF) block in the Unicode Standard, which includes symbols and characters primarily designed for technical applications. The Black Right-Pointing Pentagon symbol serves as an alternative to the more commonly used right-pointing arrow, offering a distinct visual cue that can be particularly useful in graphical representations of mathematical or geometrical concepts where the specific shape of the directional indicator is relevant. This character has no direct cultural or linguistic significance, but rather serves as a technical tool for clearer communication in certain contexts.
