Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯭ has the Unicode code point U+2BED. 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+2BED to binary:
00101011 11101101. 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 10101111 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+2BED, known as the "Upwards Two-Headed Arrow with Triangle Arrowheads," is a mathematical symbol that holds a unique position in digital text and typography. This character's primary role lies in representing a specific mathematical concept: an upward-facing arrow connecting two points, where each point is adorned with triangle-shaped arrowheads. In terms of usage, it is predominantly employed within the context of mathematics, particularly when conveying specific relationships or directions in graph theory and algebraic topology. Its inclusion in digital text often serves to clarify complex ideas and facilitate communication between mathematicians and other professionals requiring precise visual representation of these concepts. While its usage may be specialized, U+2BED's presence in the Unicode standard underscores the importance of providing a comprehensive range of characters to accurately express diverse concepts across various languages and disciplines.
