Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯠ has the Unicode code point U+2BE0. 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+2BE0 to binary:
00101011 11100000. 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 10101111 10100000

Description
U+2BE0, commonly known as CUPIDO, is a typographical character used in Unicode digital text representation. This unique symbol serves a specific role in the field of typography and design, often utilized for its aesthetic appeal rather than functional purpose. In digital text, it is typically employed to symbolize love, affection, or desire, making it popular in romantic contexts, poetry, and other creative works. CUPIDO draws its significance from its cultural associations with the ancient Greek god of love, Eros, and the Roman counterpart Cupid. The character's symbolism is deeply rooted in these mythological figures, which have permeated various aspects of human culture throughout history. As a result, U+2BE0 has become a widely recognized emblem for love and desire across different languages and cultures. From a technical standpoint, CUPIDO is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block within Unicode, which comprises a diverse range of symbols that do not fit into other predefined categories. This block serves as a repository for a vast array of characters, including pictographs, abstract entities, and more. In summary, U+2BE0 CUPIDO is a culturally and linguistically rich character with wide-ranging applications in digital text, primarily used to symbolize love and desire due to its association with the mythological figures of Eros and Cupid.
