Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤮ has the Unicode code point U+292E. 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+292E to binary:
00101001 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+292E represents the "North East Arrow Crossing South East Arrow" symbol in digital text. This typographical element is commonly employed in navigation systems, maps, and diagrams to illustrate directional changes or transitions in a geographic context. It depicts the simultaneous movements of a person or object towards both the north-east and south-east directions, indicating an intersection of these two trajectories. Although it is not widely used across various languages or cultures, its presence in Unicode allows for better cross-platform compatibility and accessibility. By incorporating this character into digital text, designers and developers can enhance the clarity and visual appeal of their navigational aids, ensuring efficient communication of spatial relationships to users.
