Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ◕ has the Unicode code point U+25D5. 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+25D5 to binary:
00100101 11010101. 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 10010111 10010101

Description
U+25D5 is a Unicode character that represents a "CIRCLE WITH ALL BUT UPPER LEFT QUADRANT BLACK". It falls under the block of Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs in the Unicode Standard. This character is used widely in digital text, specifically for creating diagrams or illustrations where a portion of a circle is blackened out, leaving only one quadrant visible. This gives designers flexibility when representing visual content through typography, especially when aiming to highlight certain aspects of a design by creating contrast. The primary use of U+25D5 in digital text revolves around its utility as an efficient and precise way of describing a sectioned circle, particularly in contexts where space and clarity are crucial.
