Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤵ has the Unicode code point U+2935. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2935 to binary:
00101001 00110101
. 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:

Description
U+2935 is a specialized Unicode character that represents an arrow pointing rightwards and then curving downwards. Its typical usage or role in digital text is to illustrate directions or flowcharts, often in technical documents, diagrams, or maps where visual representation of directional movement or a change in direction is necessary for clarity. The character doesn't have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with it but can be used universally due to its standardized nature through Unicode. The U+2935 character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical group, which includes symbols and characters not assigned to a specific category in Unicode. Despite its niche use, this character plays an essential role in visual communication where precise depiction of directional movement or flow is crucial.
