Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⬏ has the Unicode code point U+2B0F. 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+2B0F to binary:
00101011 00001111. 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 10101100 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+2B0F, "RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH TIP UPWARDS," is a typographical symbol with specific digital text applications. It is commonly used in mathematical expressions, programming, and flowcharts to denote a rightward arrow with its tip pointing upwards. This directional arrow provides clarity when representing algorithms, data flows, or any process that moves from one point to another in a specific direction. Its usage can be found across various domains such as computer science, engineering, physics, and mathematics where it is employed to illustrate the movement of information, data, or processes. Despite its relatively niche use case, the RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH TIP UPWARDS remains an essential component in digital text, particularly in technical documentation, code, and scientific publications.
