Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥄ has the Unicode code point U+2944. 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+2944 to binary:
00101001 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+2944, known as the "Short Rightwards Arrow Above Leftwards Arrow," is a specialized symbol within the Unicode character set. This particular symbol is used in digital text to represent a specific mathematical or technical concept. It combines two separate arrow symbols: the short rightwards arrow (U+294A) and the leftwards arrow (U+2190), with the former being placed above the latter. The combination of these arrows indicates a change in direction, typically in mathematical formulas or diagrams where the arrows are used to illustrate movement or flow. The character's usage is primarily within mathematical and technical contexts, where it helps clarify directions in algorithms, vector diagrams, and various graphical representations. Its use in these contexts is essential for maintaining accuracy and preventing confusion among readers or users of the content. As Unicode continues to expand its range of available characters, U+2944 remains a vital tool for those working within specialized fields that require precise representation of movement and direction in their digital text.
