Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸖ has the Unicode code point U+2E16. 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+2E16 to binary:
00101110 00010110. 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 10111000 10010110

Description
U+2E16, known as the Dotted Right-Pointing Angle, is a typographical character predominantly used in Unicode digital text. It serves a crucial role in rendering mathematical equations, graphical representations, and certain logical expressions. The symbol consists of an arrow that points to the right, with a dot at its tip, which visually distinguishes it from other arrow symbols. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the Dotted Right-Pointing Angle does not hold any specific significance. However, it is widely used in technical fields such as computer science, engineering, and mathematics to indicate directions, data flow, or function arguments. Its versatility and distinct appearance make it an essential tool for clear and accurate communication of complex ideas across these disciplines.
