Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⮢ has the Unicode code point U+2BA2. 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+2BA2 to binary:
00101011 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2BA2, known as the "Upwards Triangle-Headed Arrow with Long Tip Leftwards," serves a specific role in digital text. It is primarily used in mathematical expressions, equations, and scientific notations to represent an arrow pointing upwards and slightly to the left, indicating direction or flow in certain calculations and diagrams. This character is part of the Unicode 3.1 release and can be found under the "Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols" category. Its typographic appearance resembles a triangle with a long tail pointing towards the left, with an arrowhead at the top. The usage of this character in cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts is relatively minimal compared to more universally recognized symbols, but it remains an essential tool for those working in fields that require precise representation of mathematical and scientific concepts.
