Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⥉ has the Unicode code point U+2949. 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+2949 to binary:
00101001 01001001. 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 10100101 10001001

Description
U+2949 is a character within the Unicode Standard that represents an Upwards Two-Headed Arrow from a Small Circle. This typographic symbol is mainly used in mathematical equations and various fields of study, including physics, engineering, and computer science. In digital text, it is often employed to demonstrate vector transformations, rotational changes, and other geometric shifts within calculations. Its use extends beyond just visual representation, as it can also be interpreted programmatically by software that understands Unicode characters. While the Upwards Two-Headed Arrow from a Small Circle may not have direct linguistic or cultural significance, its technical role in various fields makes it an important symbol for accurate communication and expression of ideas within those contexts.
