Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥀ has the Unicode code point U+2940. 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+2940 to binary:
00101001 01000000. 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 10100101 10000000

Description
U+2940 is a typographical symbol known as the Anticlockwise Closed Circle Arrow. This character is part of the Unicode standard which represents a vast range of characters used in written languages across the world, including emojis and symbols. The Anticlockwise Closed Circle Arrow plays a significant role in digital text by serving as an indicator for the direction of rotation or movement in mathematical equations, diagrams, and illustrations. It is particularly prevalent in fields such as computer science, mathematics, and engineering where the concept of circular motion or rotation is essential. While it doesn't carry any cultural significance, its usage is crucial in conveying precise information where direction matters. Thus, U+2940 proves to be an indispensable tool for professionals in various technical fields, making clear what would otherwise require complex language to explain.
