Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+17FD. 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+17FD to binary:
00010111 11111101. 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:
11100001 10011111 10111101

Description
U+17FD is a Unicode character that represents the "RIGHT DOUBLE ARROW" symbol (⇢). In digital text, this character serves as a directional indicator, usually denoting movement or progression from one point to another in a sequence. It is commonly used in diagrams and flowcharts to represent rightward motion or transitions in processes and algorithms. The Right Double Arrow has significant applications in computer programming, information technology, engineering, mathematics, and various other fields that require clear visual representation of directional flow or progression. While the character is not language-specific and does not have a direct cultural significance, it plays a crucial role in enabling smooth communication of complex ideas across different linguistic contexts. As a result, U+17FD's versatility and universality make it an essential tool for typography and digital text representation.
