Description

The Unicode character U+26D0 represents "Car Sliding." This character is not commonly used in digital text due to its limited application in written communication. It does not have a significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context, as it is primarily an emoticon or emoji used to convey the idea of a car moving along a slippery surface. In some instances, it may be used on social media platforms and messaging apps to express amusement or humor in conversations. Despite its limited usage, U+26D0 remains an interesting example of how Unicode characters can contribute to digital communication by adding visual elements that enhance the meaning of text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 9936 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+26D0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+26D0 to binary: 00100110 11010000. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10011011 10010000
