Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⯶ has the Unicode code point U+2BF6. 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+2BF6 to binary:
00101011 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2BF6 represents the Russian Astrological Symbol for "Binovile." In digital texts, this symbol typically serves as a representation of an astrological concept within the context of Russian astrology or folklore. While the symbol is part of the Unicode Standard, it is not widely used in modern typography due to the lack of prevalence of Russian astrology in contemporary language and culture. However, its presence in the standard allows for potential usage in specialized texts, such as historical documents, works on cultural history, or astrological studies focusing on Russian tradition.
