Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤣ has the Unicode code point U+2923. 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+2923 to binary:
00101001 00100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+2923, known as the North West Arrow with Hook, is a specialized typographical symbol used primarily for directional indicators in digital text. It is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block within the Unicode Standard, which was designed to accommodate various technical symbols and characters that do not fit into other pre-existing categories. The primary role of this character is to represent a specific direction: northwest with an additional hook or curve at the end of the arrow. This character could be used in applications like navigation systems, flowcharts, diagrams, and maps where more conventional arrows may not convey the intended meaning accurately. It helps provide precise directional information in certain contexts and assists readers in understanding complex spatial relationships.
