Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟼ has the Unicode code point U+27FC. 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+27FC to binary:
00100111 11111100. 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 10011111 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+27FC represents the "LONG RIGHTWARDS ARROW FROM BAR" (⇥). This typographic symbol is primarily used in digital text to indicate direction or flow, particularly in programming languages, mathematical equations, and scientific notation. Although it may not have a direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context, its usage can be essential for clarifying complex concepts or processes that involve movement or progression from one point to another. The "LONG RIGHTWARDS ARROW FROM BAR" is distinct from other arrow symbols because of its extended body, which visually resembles a horizontal bar. This feature allows it to convey direction with greater clarity and precision when compared to shorter arrows. In summary, U+27FC is an essential typographic symbol in digital text for indicating movement or flow, particularly in programming languages, mathematical equations, and scientific notation, due to its distinct appearance and ability to communicate complex concepts effectively.
