Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ➊ has the Unicode code point U+278A. 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+278A to binary:
00100111 10001010. 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 10011110 10001010

Description
U+278A is a character within the Unicode standard that represents the Dingbat Negative Circled Sans-Serif Digit One (⚩). This character is primarily used in digital text for its distinct, abstract visual appearance, which can be utilized to differentiate digit representation from typical numerals. The character doesn't have any specific cultural or linguistic context and isn't associated with a particular language or script. Its usage can be found across various design fields like typography, graphic design, and digital arts where unique and stylized numerical representations are needed for aesthetic reasons or to create visual hierarchy in the content. It is important to note that this character may not be suitable for all environments due to its distinctive form, which could potentially cause confusion or difficulty in reading and understanding numerical values.
