Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮇ has the Unicode code point U+2B87. 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+2B87 to binary:
00101011 10000111. 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 10101110 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2B87 represents the "DOWNWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED PAIRED ARROWS." It is commonly used in digital text for representing paired arrows pointing downwards, with a triangle-shaped head on each arrow. This character can be found in various programming languages and software applications that support Unicode encoding. The symbol is particularly useful in mathematical equations and computer science where it is used to represent specific operations or functions. It is not associated with any particular cultural or linguistic context and has no known historical origins. Its primary purpose is its technical role in providing clarity and precision in digital text.
