Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭭ has the Unicode code point U+2B6D. 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+2B6D to binary:
00101011 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+2B6D is known as the DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED DASHED ARROW. In digital text, this character serves as a directional indicator, commonly used in mathematical equations, scientific notation, and various diagrams to show flow or movement of elements in a downwards and slightly diagonal direction. It is often utilized in mathematical formulas, particularly when representing vectors or vectors' directions, where it signifies a downward direction with a slight left or right inclination, depending on the context. In typography and Unicode standards, this character holds a significant place due to its specific role in representing precise mathematical concepts and spatial relationships. It is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block of the Unicode Standard, a collection of symbols and characters used in various technical disciplines. The DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED DASHED ARROW character, along with other similar arrows (such as U+2B6C UPWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED DASHED ARROW), helps provide clarity and avoid ambiguity in mathematical notation and other technical texts, enhancing comprehension and accuracy.
