Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤤ has the Unicode code point U+2924. 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+2924 to binary:
00101001 00100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2924, known as the "North East Arrow with Hook," is a specific symbol used in digital typography. This arrow is distinct due to its hook, which bends back upon itself, creating an unusual curvature that sets it apart from other standard arrows. In terms of usage, this character is typically employed to represent directional movement towards the north-east region on maps or diagrams. For example, in geographic information systems (GIS) and navigation tools, U+2924 may be used to indicate a specific cardinal or ordinal direction. Although it's not as widely recognized as other arrow symbols, its unique design provides additional context for users, enhancing clarity in directions or instructions where more nuanced movement is involved.
