Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮹ has the Unicode code point U+2BB9. 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+2BB9 to binary:
00101011 10111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+2BB9, also known as the UP ARROWHEAD IN A RECTANGLE BOX, is a typographical character in Unicode that holds a specific role in digital text. The symbol represents an arrowhead positioned within a rectangle, typically pointing upwards. This unique character is used in various contexts, such as diagramming or flowcharts, to indicate direction, movement, or navigation in digital text and documents. While it may not be widely utilized in everyday language, the UP ARROWHEAD IN A RECTANGLE BOX serves a niche yet essential purpose for those working with technical documentation or visual aids. It is particularly useful in situations where a simple arrow might not suffice, offering a more precise and visually distinct representation of direction or movement.
