Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ↅ has the Unicode code point U+2185. 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+2185 to binary:
00100001 10000101. 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 10000110 10000101

Description
The character U+2185, also known as the Roman Numeral Six Late Form, is a significant figure in typography and Unicode text encoding. In digital text, it primarily represents the number six in the traditional Roman numeral system. Although not commonly used today for numerical representation, this symbol once played a vital role in ancient Roman culture, where Roman numerals were widely adopted for various applications including mathematics, astronomy, and architecture. The Roman Numeral Six Late Form is characterized by its distinct design that visually differs from the early form of Roman six (VI). In modern typography, it is often used for historical or decorative purposes, reflecting the importance of ancient Roman culture in various aspects of human history. As part of Unicode, this character ensures accurate representation and encoding of text across different platforms and applications, contributing to the preservation and understanding of cultural heritage through digital communication.
