Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤀ has the Unicode code point U+2900. 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+2900 to binary:
00101001 00000000. 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
U+2900 (RIGHTWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW WITH VERTICAL STROKE) is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text for its unique arrows symbolism, specifically the rightward two-headed arrow with a vertical stroke. This specialized character plays an essential role in various scientific and technical documents, such as diagrams, flowcharts, and mathematical notation, where it represents a dual bidirectional process with a distinct element of orientation. Its use can be traced back to the early days of computing when programmers needed a way to illustrate complex algorithms or processes in their documentation. Although its usage may seem niche, this Unicode character's importance cannot be overstated as it contributes to the accurate representation and understanding of intricate concepts across numerous disciplines, from physics to computer science.
