Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭋ has the Unicode code point U+2B4B. 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+2B4B to binary:
00101011 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+2B4B, known as the "LEFTWARDS ARROW ABOVE REVERSE TILDE OPERATOR," plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of mathematics and computer science. It is utilized to represent an operation that reverses the direction of the arrows above a letter or symbol. In essence, it serves as a visual guide to help users understand the flow of information within complex equations and algorithms. While its usage may be relatively niche compared to other common Unicode characters, the Leftwards Arrow Above Reverse Tilde Operator is a vital tool for those working in fields where precise mathematical notation is crucial.
