Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ☌ has the Unicode code point U+260C. 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+260C to binary:
00100110 00001100. 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 10011000 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+260C represents the "Conjunction" symbol (⁊). In digital text, it is commonly used to denote a logical conjunction, signifying a connection or relationship between two elements. This symbol is often employed in programming and computer science, where it is utilized to express the combination of two binary values, as well as in mathematical equations, particularly in set theory and logic. The Conjunction symbol has its origins in the Latin alphabet, specifically in the lowercase letter "u" (⁊), and was later adapted for its current usage in digital text. It is important to note that this character is not language-specific and can be used across various linguistic contexts to represent a universal conjunction symbol.
