Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭌ has the Unicode code point U+2B4C. 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+2B4C to binary:
00101011 01001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+2B4C, known as the RIGHTWARDS ARROW ABOVE REVERSE TILDE OPERATOR, serves a unique function in digital text. This typographical symbol is often employed in mathematics and computer science to denote certain operations or concepts. Specifically, it represents a reversed version of the tilde operation, which is commonly used in bitwise XOR operations. The character's distinct appearance - an arrow pointing rightwards with a reverse tilde above it - reflects its purpose as a visual indicator for this particular operation. While not widely used in everyday language, the RIGHTWARDS ARROW ABOVE REVERSE TILDE OPERATOR holds importance within specialized fields, where it contributes to clearer communication of complex ideas and algorithms.
