Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮤ has the Unicode code point U+2BA4. 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+2BA4 to binary:
00101011 10100100. 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:

Description
U+2BA4 is a special Unicode character known as the "LEFTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW WITH LONG TIP UPWARDS." This typographical symbol plays an important role in digital text, primarily serving to denote direction or flow within mathematical expressions and diagrams. The arrowhead points leftwards, while the long tip extending upward indicates a change in direction or emphasis. This character finds its usage predominantly in technical and mathematical contexts, where it is employed to illustrate relationships between variables, elements, or concepts. In digital text, U+2BA4 often appears in equations, flowcharts, diagrams, and other visual representations that require precise communication of directional shifts or transitions. Despite its niche application, the "LEFTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW WITH LONG TIP UPWARDS" (U+2BA4) remains a crucial tool for those working in fields such as mathematics, engineering, computer science, and information technology. Its distinct shape, combining both triangular and arrow elements, enables users to quickly identify the direction of flow or movement within complex equations and diagrams, facilitating clearer understanding and efficient problem-solving.
