Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤶ has the Unicode code point U+2936. 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+2936 to binary:
00101001 00110110. 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 10100100 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2936 is the "ARROW POINTING DOWNWARDS THEN CURVING LEFTWARDS" symbol, commonly found in digital text as a mathematical or geometric element for illustrating directions or paths. This character is part of the Geometric Shapes block (U+2900-U+297F) in Unicode, which includes various shapes used in mathematics and engineering. The U+2936 symbol's primary role is to represent a directional path that first goes downwards and then curving leftwards, often used in diagrams or equations to guide readers through complex mathematical or geometric processes. While not specific to any particular culture or language, it may be found in materials related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), making it a valuable tool across various disciplines for conveying information with clarity and precision.
