Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭺ has the Unicode code point U+2B7A. 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+2B7A to binary:
00101011 01111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+2B7A, also known as the Leftwards Triangle-Headed Arrow with Double Horizontal Stroke, is a specialized character in the Unicode standard. It primarily serves an important role in digital text by allowing for enhanced directional indicators in mathematical equations, programming code, and various symbols where clear direction of flow or action is required. The use of this character is quite specific and often used in technical documentation, scientific research papers, and computer-related fields such as coding, algorithms, and data visualization. This unique symbol is a part of the Unicode range for Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols which includes characters that represent mathematical notations or symbols. The Leftwards Triangle-Headed Arrow with Double Horizontal Stroke has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside its specific usage in these fields.
