Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭀ has the Unicode code point U+2B40. 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+2B40 to binary:
00101011 01000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+2B40, known as the "Equals Sign Above Leftwards Arrow" (⇅), is a mathematical symbol primarily used in digital text to denote an ordered pair, or equivalently, a function that maps one element of a set to another element. This character is particularly useful when representing elements and functions within the context of mathematics, computer science, and logic programming. While it may not have significant cultural or linguistic implications, its role in these fields remains crucial for accurate representation and clarity in digital text communication. The U+2B40 symbol is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block of Unicode characters, ensuring its availability for use across a wide range of digital platforms and applications.
