Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤏ has the Unicode code point U+290F. 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+290F to binary:
00101001 00001111
. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+290F, known as the RIGHTWARDS TRIPLE DASH ARROW, is a specialized symbol used in digital text to represent an arrow pointing rightwards with three vertical dashes. This symbol primarily serves in mathematical and technical contexts, often found in diagrams or equations that require clear representation of direction and flow. While it may not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context in isolation, it plays a crucial role in accurately conveying directions and relationships between elements in various fields such as computer science, engineering, and data visualization. By using U+290F, authors can effectively communicate complex ideas and concepts with precision and clarity.
