Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤯ has the Unicode code point U+292F. 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+292F to binary:
00101001 00101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+292F, known as the Falling Diagonal Crossing North East Arrow, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent directional movement or flow. Specifically, it denotes a diagonal path that is heading northeast at an angle of 45 degrees. This symbol is particularly useful in navigation systems, engineering diagrams, and other contexts where the representation of direction and orientation are crucial. It has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of these applications, but its precise representation of a specific angle makes it an important tool for ensuring accurate communication in various fields.
