Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ◿ has the Unicode code point U+25FF. 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+25FF to binary:
00100101 11111111. 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 10010111 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+25FF, known as the Lower Right Triangle, is a specialized typographic symbol used to indicate a directional arrow pointing down and to the right in digital text. This character is commonly employed in various applications such as programming, data visualization, and textual annotation to depict flowcharts, data structures, or algorithms. In technical documentation, it helps illustrate code navigation, function calls, and hierarchical relationships. While not widely used in everyday communication, the Lower Right Triangle serves a crucial purpose in fields that require precise representation of directional movement and relationships.
