Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥧ has the Unicode code point U+2967. 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+2967 to binary:
00101001 01100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2967, known as the "LEFTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB DOWN ABOVE RIGHTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB DOWN," is a specialized typographic symbol found in the Miscellaneous Technical (Zs) block of Unicode. Its primary role in digital text is to provide a visual representation for a specific technical concept or process, often used in diagrams and schematics within scientific documents, engineering manuals, and certain branches of mathematics. While it may not have a direct linguistic function, the symbol's unique design serves as an important tool for visually communicating complex ideas and relationships in various technical contexts. Due to its specific nature, U+2967 is not commonly used in everyday digital text, but when employed, it contributes significantly to the clarity and precision of information exchange within specialized fields.
