Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⚰ has the Unicode code point U+26B0. 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+26B0 to binary:
00100110 10110000. 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 10011010 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+26B0 represents the "Coffin" symbol in digital text. This typographical representation is commonly used to depict a coffin, which is a box-like container traditionally used to hold human remains in various cultures around the world. In digital text, U+26B0 serves as a shorthand for this item and can be employed to convey ideas or concepts related to death, burial, or funerary customs without using words. The Coffin symbol has been incorporated into Unicode to provide a standardized visual representation that transcends language barriers and cultural differences, making it a valuable tool in typography for those discussing topics related to death and burial practices.
