Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤉ has the Unicode code point U+2909. 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+2909 to binary:
00101001 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2909, known as the Upwards Arrow with Horizontal Stroke, is a versatile symbol employed in digital text to represent an upward movement with an additional horizontal stroke. This symbol finds its primary usage in mathematics, computer programming, and various scientific fields where it denotes an increase or an upward shift in value, position, or status. Although not culturally significant in a widespread sense, the Upwards Arrow with Horizontal Stroke has become indispensable in linguistic contexts for expressing complex mathematical and logical concepts precisely. Its technical application is found in programming languages like HTML and LaTeX, where it helps enhance readability and clarity of code by visually representing the direction or movement of variables, functions, and other elements within algorithms.
