Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤼ has the Unicode code point U+293C. 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+293C to binary:
00101001 00111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+293C, known as "TOP ARC CLOCKWISE ARROW WITH MINUS," serves a specific function in digital text, particularly within the domain of mathematics and computer programming. It is an important element used to represent an open interval notation in mathematical expressions. This symbol represents a clockwise rotation of an arc, with the negative sign indicating a counter-clockwise direction. Its presence in Unicode expands the range of symbols available for precise expression in text, enhancing the ability of programmers and mathematicians to convey complex ideas and relationships. It is often employed to denote a specific set of values or points within a mathematical model, making it an indispensable tool in fields such as computer science, engineering, physics, and other disciplines that rely on numerical representation and manipulation.
