Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟾ has the Unicode code point U+27FE. 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+27FE to binary:
00100111 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+27FE, known as the "LONG RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW FROM BAR," is a less commonly used symbol in digital text. It serves to represent a rightwards double arrow formed from a horizontal line with two vertical arrows on either side, indicating a strong directional shift or change. In some technical and programming contexts, this character might be used in diagrams, flowcharts, or data visualization tools, where it could signify a transition between states or processes. It's important to note that the usage of U+27FE is less widespread than other arrow symbols, due to its specific nature and relatively niche applications. As for cultural, linguistic, or technical context, there isn't any noteworthy information available on the character, making it more of a specialized tool rather than an iconic symbol in popular culture or language.
