Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮥ has the Unicode code point U+2BA5. 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+2BA5 to binary:
00101011 10100101. 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 10101110 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+2BA5, known as RIGHTWARDS TRIANGLE-HEADED ARROW WITH LONG TIP UPWARDS, is a specialized symbol primarily used in digital text for its unique directional properties. It is not linked to any specific language or cultural context, but rather serves as a universal indicator of direction within typography and digital design. This character's primary role lies in guiding the reader's eye or attention along a specific path within a piece of text or visual content, often seen in mathematical equations, engineering diagrams, flowcharts, and other technical documents. The arrowhead is triangular in shape, making it easily distinguishable from other arrows, while its long tip pointing upwards signifies a change in direction or movement away from the reader's current perspective. In terms of digital typography, U+2BA5 plays an essential role in conveying complex information and relationships clearly and concisely, thereby contributing to effective communication in various technical fields.
