Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯜ has the Unicode code point U+2BDC. 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+2BDC to binary:
00101011 11011100. 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 10101111 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+2BDC, known as the NESSUS (North-East Arrow), is a symbol used predominantly in digital text to denote direction or navigation. It is primarily utilized in mathematical equations and geometric diagrams to indicate movement or orientation towards the northeast direction. While it may not have significant cultural or linguistic relevance, its technical application is vital in various fields such as computer graphics, mapping systems, and digital navigation tools. The NESSUS character was introduced in Unicode version 1.0 and has since been used to provide precise instructions in software applications, geospatial data representation, and interactive user interfaces.
