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
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+26D0 to binary:
00100110 11010000
. 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 10011011 10010000

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.
