Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭰ has the Unicode code point U+2B70. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2B70 to binary:
00101011 01110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2B70, known as the "Leftwards Triangle-Headed Arrow to Bar," is a specialized typographical symbol often utilized in digital text. It plays an essential role in mathematics, computer science, and various other technical fields by representing a leftward-pointing arrow that points towards a horizontal bar. This arrow is particularly used in mathematical notation to denote the concept of "less than or equal to" when paired with other symbols. Additionally, it's employed in programming languages and data structures to signify a specific operation or direct a programmer's attention to a particular element within code. The Leftwards Triangle-Headed Arrow to Bar holds no significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its functional role in these specialized realms.
