Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭽ has the Unicode code point U+2B7D. 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+2B7D to binary:
00101011 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+2B7D, also known as the DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW WITH DOUBLE HORIZONTAL STROKE, is a specialized character in Unicode typography used to denote certain mathematical expressions and operations in digital text. It is typically utilized within programming languages or mathematical notation systems for representing specific types of arrows, usually signifying the reversal of flow or direction in algorithms, processes, or equations. The double horizontal stroke on the arrowhead makes it visually distinct from other similar characters, ensuring clear understanding and communication of the intended concept. While its usage is primarily technical, it also serves a functional role in various cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts where precise representation of arrows and their directions are required for clarity and accuracy.
