Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭆ has the Unicode code point U+2B46. 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+2B46 to binary:
00101011 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+2B46, known as the RIGHTWARDS QUADRUPLE ARROW, is a typographical symbol used to indicate direction in digital text. It represents a rightward-pointing arrow that consists of four arrows pointing in the same direction. This symbol is commonly employed in programming and technical documentation to signify a move to the right, typically within a grid or matrix context. The RIGHTWARDS QUADRUPLE ARROW does not hold any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its specific use case, making it an efficient tool for precise directional representation in digital texts.
