Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤄ has the Unicode code point U+2904. 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+2904 to binary:
00101001 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+2904, also known as the Left Right Double Arrow with Vertical Stroke, is a unique typographical character found in the Unicode Standard. This symbol serves as an important tool for representing certain concepts within digital text, particularly in mathematical and scientific contexts. It acts as a visual aid to express the idea of "double-headed" arrows that move in both directions while also indicating a specific orientation along a vertical axis. While its usage is not widespread compared to other arrow symbols, it remains a valuable addition to the Unicode repertoire for those who require precise and nuanced representations within their text.
