Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤩ has the Unicode code point U+2929. 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+2929 to binary:
00101001 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2929 represents the "South East Arrow and South West Arrow" (🛣️), a symbol that combines two arrows pointing in opposite directions - one arrow pointing south east, while the other points south west. This versatile typographic element is often used in digital text to illustrate geographical directions or positions, particularly in maps, diagrams, and flowcharts. In these contexts, it helps users easily understand complex spatial relations and movement patterns. Despite its apparent complexity, U+2929 has a simple Unicode code point value, reflecting the efficiency of modern encoding standards.
