Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤭ has the Unicode code point U+292D. 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+292D to binary:
00101001 00101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+292D is a unique Unicode character known as the "SOUTH EAST ARROW CROSSING NORTH EAST ARROW". In digital text, this character serves as a visual representation to indicate directional movement in diagrams, maps, or flowcharts. Its primary usage lies within technical and scientific contexts where precise navigation or direction is essential. The South East Arrow Crossing North East Arrow symbol combines two arrows pointing in opposite directions, forming an 'X' shape, which is used to illustrate a crossing point between two paths or directions. In technical documentation or engineering plans, this character can be employed to represent the intersection of routes or pathways, providing clarity for readers and ensuring accurate interpretation of spatial relationships.
