Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2B75. 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+2B75 to binary:
00101011 01110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2B75 (CHARACTER 2B75) is a typographical symbol known as the "Black Right-Pointing Pointer" (❘). It is primarily used in digital text to indicate a rightward direction or movement, similar to an arrow pointing to the right. In computer programming and digital design, this character may be utilized to signify the progression of a sequence, show directionality in navigation menus, or highlight right-facing elements within an interface. While U+2B75 does not have specific cultural or linguistic significance, its visual resemblance to an arrowhead can make it universally recognizable as a directional cue. It is essential for developers and designers alike to understand the role of this character in digital text and how it can contribute to usability and user experience within various platforms and applications.
