Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥁ has the Unicode code point U+2941. 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+2941 to binary:
00101001 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+2941, known as the "Clockwise Closed Circle Arrow," is a specialized symbol used primarily in mathematical equations and digital text to represent a specific type of function or operation. It visually depicts an arrow circling around within a circle, indicating clockwise rotation. This character plays a crucial role in various fields such as mathematics, physics, and computer programming where concepts of circular motion and rotational operations are essential. Its usage is most prominent in equations that involve complex numbers, vector calculus, and trigonometry. The symbol's design helps to avoid confusion with other arrows pointing in different directions, thereby enhancing the readability and understanding of the mathematical concept it represents.
