Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤘ has the Unicode code point U+2918. 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+2918 to binary:
00101001 00011000. 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:

Description
The character U+2918, known as "RIGHTWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW WITH TAIL WITH DOUBLE VERTICAL STROKE," is a typographical symbol found in the Unicode standard. It is utilized in digital text to represent a specific mathematical or logical operation, where it signifies a rightward flow of two concurrent processes with an additional tail that has double vertical strokes. This unique symbol finds its application predominantly in fields like computer science, mathematics, and engineering, aiding in visual representation of complex algorithms and computations. Although this particular character may not be widely used or recognized outside these technical domains, it plays a crucial role in the accurate and efficient communication of certain ideas that cannot be effectively conveyed using common text alone. Its double vertical stroke distinguishes it from other arrows in Unicode, enhancing its utility and specificity within its intended contexts.
