Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⭏ has the Unicode code point U+2B4F. 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+2B4F to binary:
00101011 01001111. 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 10001111

Description
The character U+2B4F, known as the Short Backslanted South Arrow, plays a significant role in digital text by representing directional flow in mathematical equations, geography, and programming languages. Its unique design showcases an arrow that is slightly angled to the right and downwards, making it easily distinguishable from other arrows in typography. This specific angle allows users to accurately denote southward direction or slanting trajectories in various contexts. Due to its universal Unicode support, the Short Backslanted South Arrow can be employed across multiple platforms, languages, and software applications, ensuring clarity and consistency in communication across diverse digital environments.
