Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭧ has the Unicode code point U+2B67. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2B67 to binary:
00101011 01100111
. 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 10101101 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2B67 represents the North East Triangle-Headed Arrow. This typographical symbol is used predominantly in digital text for its distinct directional indication, pointing towards the northeast direction. Its primary application lies within technical documentation and programming contexts where precise direction or flow representation is crucial. For example, it is frequently employed in software engineering, particularly in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, to denote specific navigational paths within a system or program. While the North East Triangle-Headed Arrow does not possess any cultural or linguistic significance, its technical and functional role remains an important aspect of modern typography and digital communication.
