Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⬷ has the Unicode code point U+2B37. 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+2B37 to binary:
00101011 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+2B37, known as the Leftwards Two-Headed Triple Dash Arrow, is a special character used in digital text to represent a specific mathematical operation. This character is commonly utilized in mathematical notations within digital text to express the derivative of a function. Its primary role lies in symbolizing the derivative operator, which denotes the rate at which a given functional value changes with respect to its input variable. The Leftwards Two-Headed Triple Dash Arrow often appears alongside other arrows like the Rightwards Two-Headed Triple Dash Arrow (U+2B3A) in mathematical contexts. While this character holds no cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its role as a mathematical operator, it remains an essential tool for those working with derivatives and related concepts in mathematics, physics, and engineering.
