Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥥ has the Unicode code point U+2965. 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+2965 to binary:
00101001 01100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+2965 is a typographic character representing a downwards harpoon with barb left beside a downwards harpoon with barb right. This Unicode character plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in the fields of mathematics, computer science, and technical documentation. It is often used to represent specific mathematical operations or algorithms, such as directing the flow of information in digital circuits or symbolizing the movement of vectors in graphical applications. While it may not have a notable cultural or linguistic context, the character's unique design allows for precise communication of complex ideas and concepts in various technical disciplines, enhancing clarity and accuracy in the textual representation of these subjects.
