Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮄ has the Unicode code point U+2B84. 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+2B84 to binary:
00101011 10000100. 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 10101110 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+2B84, known as the "LEFTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED PAIRED ARROWS", is a unique symbol commonly used in digital text. It serves to indicate a bidirectional movement or an action that involves turning back or reversing a process. This symbol is often employed in coding and programming contexts where it's necessary to express directions, actions, or data flows. Despite its technical nature, the character doesn't have any significant cultural, linguistic, or historical associations, making it primarily a tool for modern digital communication and computing systems. It's an example of how Unicode strives to include a broad range of symbols and characters to enhance communication in the digital world.
