Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤑ has the Unicode code point U+2911. 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+2911 to binary:
00101001 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2911, known as the RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH DOTTED STEM, is an important symbol in digital typography that has a specific role in representing directionality and flow of information within text. This character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical category within the Unicode Standard, which includes symbols used for various technical purposes such as arrows and other directional indicators. The RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH DOTTED STEM is particularly useful in mathematical equations, diagrams, and flowcharts where it serves to denote rightward movement or direction, often indicating the flow of data or processes. In terms of technical context, this symbol may also be used in programming and computer languages as a delimiter or for syntactic purposes, although its usage is relatively limited compared to other arrow symbols like the plain right arrow (U+2192) or the leftward arrow with hook (U+21A9). It's important to note that this character may not be readily available on all keyboards and input methods, but it can typically be found in Unicode-compliant character sets or by using specialist fonts designed for technical communication. The RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH DOTTED STEM is an example of a specialized symbol that contributes to the precision and clarity of digital text, especially within certain technical contexts.
