Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥱ has the Unicode code point U+2971. 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+2971 to binary:
00101001 01110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+2971, known as the "Equals Sign Above Rightwards Arrow," serves a unique purpose in digital text. As part of the Miscellaneous Technical (U+2900–U+291F) block of the Unicode Standard, this character combines mathematical and symbolic representations. The character is often used in mathematical notations to express an equality between two quantities that are connected by a rightwards arrow, emphasizing the relationship between them. This can be useful in various contexts, from programming and computer science to engineering and physics. It allows for concise and precise communication of complex relationships in digital text without relying on lengthy descriptions or additional symbols. While it may not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its specialized use, the U+2971 character demonstrates the versatility and utility of Unicode characters in facilitating clear and efficient communication across a wide range of disciplines.
