Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥩ has the Unicode code point U+2969. 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+2969 to binary:
00101001 01101001. 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 10100101 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2969, "RIGHTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB DOWN ABOVE LEFTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB DOWN," is a specialized typographical symbol used in digital text for specific technical and mathematical contexts. It combines two unique arrows in an intersecting manner: the rightwards harpoon with barb down, which typically signifies the direction of the vector, and the leftwards harpoon with barb down, representing another vector pointing in the opposite direction. This combination is particularly useful in technical documentation, engineering diagrams, and mathematical formulas to illustrate vector fields or differential equations, where it can help visualize and depict vector relationships more clearly and accurately. The character's unique design allows for a compact representation of these vectors, ensuring that limited space on digital platforms does not compromise the clarity of information being presented.
