Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫠ has the Unicode code point U+2AE0. 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+2AE0 to binary:
00101010 11100000. 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 10101011 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+2AE0 is known as the "SHORT UP TACK". It is primarily used in digital text to denote a short upwards arrow or an upward pointing chevron. In typography, it is often employed in technical documents, mathematical equations, and in programming code for illustrating directional flow. This character's specific use can vary depending on the context in which it is applied, including its role in depicting movement, change of state, or as an indicator in programming languages. Despite its relative obscurity compared to other Unicode characters, the SHORT UP TACK plays a crucial role in conveying precise information and maintaining clarity in various digital text applications.
