Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤨ has the Unicode code point U+2928. 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+2928 to binary:
00101001 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2928, also known as NORTH EAST ARROW AND SOUTH EAST ARROW, plays a significant role in digital text by representing directions in maps and diagrams. In typography, it serves as an essential tool for communicating spatial information and orientation. It is often utilized in fields such as geography, cartography, and computer science to depict the directional relationship between two points or regions. The character combines both a north-east arrow and a south-east arrow, allowing users to visualize the relative positions of locations or entities more clearly. Despite not having a notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context in isolation, its practical applications make it an important element in digital communication and visual representation.
