Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⬵ has the Unicode code point U+2B35. 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+2B35 to binary:
00101011 00110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2B35, also known as "LEFTWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW WITH DOUBLE VERTICAL STROKE," is a specialized typographic symbol used in digital text to represent a specific mathematical or logical operation. It is primarily utilized in the fields of computer science, engineering, and mathematics where it represents a reversal of direction or flow. In these contexts, the arrowhead points leftwards while the double vertical stroke emphasizes the two-way flow or bidirectionality of the operation. This character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical category within the Unicode Standard, demonstrating its importance in facilitating accurate communication across various technical fields. The LEFTWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW WITH DOUBLE VERTICAL STROKE is a valuable tool for creating precise and unambiguous digital text, contributing to more effective collaboration between experts in these disciplines.
