Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮂ has the Unicode code point U+2B82. 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+2B82 to binary:
00101011 10000010. 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:

Description
U+2B82 is a Unicode character that represents the "RIGHTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW OVER LEFTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW." In digital text, this character is primarily used for mathematical and technical notation. It combines two mathematical symbols: the rightwards triangle-headed arrow (U+294E) and the leftwards triangle-headed arrow (U+294D). The combination of these arrows allows for clearer representation of complex mathematical concepts, particularly in vector calculus and differential geometry. While there may not be a specific cultural or linguistic context for this character, it is an essential tool for accurately expressing certain mathematical relationships and operations in digital text. Its precise use helps avoid misinterpretation and confusion when conveying these advanced concepts in fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science. Overall, U+2B82 serves as a valuable symbol within the Unicode standard, contributing to the accuracy and clarity of technical and mathematical communication.
