Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤃ has the Unicode code point U+2903. 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+2903 to binary:
00101001 00000011
. 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 10000011

Description
U+2903, the Rightwards Double Arrow with Vertical Stroke, is a unique typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a consistent method for representing characters and symbols across different languages and platforms. The character itself consists of two double arrows pointing rightwards and a vertical stroke running through them, creating an intriguing visual effect. In typography, this character is often used in technical documentation or diagrams where directional flow or process sequences need to be clearly depicted. It can indicate the movement of data or information from one point to another, making it particularly useful in computer science and engineering contexts. For instance, it may be employed in algorithms, software development, or network diagrams to illustrate the direction of data processing, routing, or communication. While this character is not culturally specific or tied to any particular language, its versatile application makes it an essential tool for accurate and efficient communication across various technical disciplines. By incorporating U+2903 into digital text, creators can ensure that readers have a clear understanding of the intended flow or progression within complex processes or systems.
