Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤇ has the Unicode code point U+2907. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2907 to binary:
00101001 00000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2907, known as the "RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW FROM BAR," plays a significant role in digital text representation. It is often used to depict a bidirectional arrow pointing rightward, denoting flow or direction. This symbol is particularly beneficial in computer graphics and mathematical equations where directionality and flow are crucial concepts. Although the character does not have any direct cultural or linguistic significance, it serves as an important tool in various technical fields such as programming, data visualization, and information design. Its primary function lies in representing a two-way flow that is typically associated with processes or systems where input and output are interchangeable. By employing this character, designers and developers can effectively communicate the concept of bidirectionality in their work while maintaining accuracy and clarity.
