Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥭ has the Unicode code point U+296D. 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+296D to binary:
00101001 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+296D, known as RIGHTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB DOWN BELOW LONG DASH, is a typographical symbol with specific roles in digital text. It is primarily used to denote a rightward pointing harpoon with the barb facing down and below a long dash. This unique character is useful in various contexts, including mathematics, where it can represent a particular type of derivative or differential operator, as well as programming languages, where it may serve as an escape sequence or symbol for specific actions. In cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, U+296D has limited usage due to its specialized nature. However, it has been adopted by certain communities and fields that require precise symbols to represent complex mathematical operations or programming concepts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures its availability for use across different platforms and applications, promoting interoperability and consistency in digital communication.
