Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏭ has the Unicode code point U+23ED. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+23ED to binary:
00100011 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 10001111 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+23ED, known as the "Black Right-Pointing Double Triangle with Vertical Bar," is a typographical symbol used to denote a specific type of logical implication or entailment in formal logic and mathematical notation. In digital text, this character often represents the material conditional or "implies" relationship between two statements in deductive reasoning. The double triangle signifies the directionality of the arrow, while the vertical bar symbolizes the conditional relationship between the two entities involved. Although primarily used in formal logic and mathematics, the Black Right-Pointing Double Triangle with Vertical Bar can also be found in programming languages and software development documentation to describe certain types of dependencies or relationships between code elements.
