Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥺ has the Unicode code point U+297A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+297A to binary:
00101001 01111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+297A, known as the "Leftwards Arrow Through Subset," is a symbol used primarily in mathematical and scientific digital text to denote a leftward arrow that passes through a subset of elements within a larger set. This character is essential for representing specific relationships between sets and subsets in various fields such as computer science, mathematics, and statistics. The Leftwards Arrow Through Subset has no significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside its specialized use. Its primary importance lies in facilitating clear communication of these relationships within the appropriate academic and professional domains.
