Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⤊ has the Unicode code point U+290A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+290A to binary:
00101001 00001010
. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+290A, known as the "Upwards Triple Arrow," is a unique symbol primarily used in digital text for its specific role as an arrow pointing upwards. This character is often utilized in technical documentation, mathematical equations, or programming code to denote an action or direction that moves from lower to higher values, similar to the concept of upward movement on a graph or chart. It does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its specific usage as a symbol for upward motion. Despite its limited application, it remains an essential part of typography and digital text systems due to its precise and clear representation of this particular directional action.
