Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮑ has the Unicode code point U+2B91. 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+2B91 to binary:
00101011 10010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2B91, known as "RETURN RIGHT," plays a vital role in text editing, particularly in programming environments and digital text processing systems. This symbol is used to indicate that the cursor should move one line down and three characters to the right from its current position. Typically, this character is employed during the editing process to adjust the placement of text for better formatting or alignment. Although it may seem obscure, the RETURN RIGHT symbol has practical applications in various digital text manipulation tasks, ensuring that text can be organized and presented precisely as intended.
