Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮰ has the Unicode code point U+2BB0. 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+2BB0 to binary:
00101011 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2BB0, also known as the "Ribbon Arrow Down Left" (RBDO), serves a specific purpose in digital text. This symbol is part of the Miscellaneous Technical category within the Unicode Standard, which includes a wide range of symbols and characters used for various technical purposes, such as arrows, mathematical symbols, and currency signs. The Ribbon Arrow Down Left character represents a graphical arrow pointing diagonally downwards to the left. It is typically employed in user interfaces or diagrams where directional guidance is necessary within a narrow space, such as in menus, flowcharts, or navigation tools.
