Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⬹ has the Unicode code point U+2B39. 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+2B39 to binary:
00101011 00111001. 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 10101100 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+2B39, known as the "Leftwards Arrow with Tail with Vertical Stroke," serves a specific function in digital text communication. This symbol is predominantly used in programming, mathematics, and engineering contexts to indicate leftward movement or directionality when combined with other symbols or elements. In technical documentation and algorithms, it often signifies the reversal of a sequence or flow of data. Its vertical stroke distinguishes it from the more commonly used "Leftwards Arrow with Tail" (U+2190), making it particularly useful in contexts where precision and clarity are essential.
