Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭮ has the Unicode code point U+2B6E. 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+2B6E to binary:
00101011 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+2B6E is the Unicode character representing Clockwise Triangle-headed Open Circle Arrow. It's a specific type of arrow symbol used in various digital text settings for demonstrating directional movements or actions in contexts where precision and clarity are important, such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and information technology. Its design features a triangular head with an open circle at the tip, indicating a clockwise rotation, which is distinct from other arrow symbols that represent counterclockwise rotation or different types of movement. While it may not have specific cultural or linguistic connotations in the way that other characters do, its usage is crucial within technical contexts where precise directional information is needed to avoid misunderstandings and errors. Due to its specialized nature, U+2B6E is often used in programming languages, diagrams, and equations to ensure accurate communication of complex concepts and instructions.
