Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤎ has the Unicode code point U+290E. 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+290E to binary:
00101001 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+290E, also known as the Leftwards Triple Dash Arrow, is a specialized symbol with various applications in digital text. This glyph is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed to depict an arrow pointing leftward and composed of three horizontal lines or dashes. The primary role of this character lies in its use for representing arrows or flowcharts, particularly in technical documentation or diagrams where the directional flow of information is critical. In many programming languages and software applications, such as LaTeX, Unicode characters can be utilized to enhance visual clarity and provide additional context within text. As a result, U+290E plays an essential role in conveying complex ideas or processes through visual cues that are easily digestible by readers. However, the character is not widely used in everyday language, as it serves more of a specialized purpose in specific contexts. Overall, the Leftwards Triple Dash Arrow remains an important tool for clarity and precision in digital text, particularly within technical documentation or diagrammatic representations.
