Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥞ has the Unicode code point U+295E. 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+295E to binary:
00101001 01011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+295E, known as "LEFTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB DOWN FROM BAR," is a special symbol used in digital typography. It primarily serves a technical role, often utilized to indicate a specific form of mathematical or logical relation between elements within a text. This particular glyph represents a unique directional arrow with a harpoon-like barb pointing downwards from a horizontal line. Although it may not have widespread cultural, linguistic, or artistic significance, its distinct design allows for precise visual communication in contexts where the standard arrow symbols would be insufficient to express the intended meaning. In digital text, U+295E can be employed to clarify instructions, diagrams, or algorithms in mathematical and engineering fields where exactness is crucial.
