Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭲ has the Unicode code point U+2B72. 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+2B72 to binary:
00101011 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+2B72, known as the RIGHTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW TO BAR, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to denote a specific mathematical or technical concept. It typically represents an operation where a bar (often denoted by a horizontal line) divides two values and an arrow indicates the direction of transformation. This character finds its usage primarily in computer programming languages, mathematics, and scientific notations. In linguistics, it may also be used to depict specific phonetic transformations in some specialized fields of study. The U+2B72 symbol's cultural or linguistic significance is limited due to its technical nature, but its application across various digital platforms and programming languages illustrates the breadth and versatility of Unicode in representing a wide range of symbols for diverse functions.
