An H3 Directed Edge index (mode 2) represents a single directed edge between two cells (an "origin" cell and a neighboring "destination" cell). The components of the H3 Directed Edge index are packed into a 64-bit integer in order, highest bit first, as follows:
* 1 bit reserved and set to 0,
* 4 bits to indicate the H3 Unidirectional Edge index mode,
* 3 bits to indicate the edge (1-6) of the origin cell,
* Subsequent bits matching the index bits of the [origin cell](./cell#h3-cell-index).
## Bit layout of H3Index for directed edges
The layout of an `H3Index` is shown below in table form. The interpretation of the "Mode-Dependent" field differs depending on the mode of the index.
