Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⚮ has the Unicode code point U+26AE. 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+26AE to binary:
00100110 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+26AE, known as the Divorce Symbol, is a rarely used typographical element that serves to represent the concept of divorce in digital text. While its usage is not widespread, it may be employed in legal documents or other formal contexts where precision and clarity are essential. This symbol holds a specific cultural significance in certain communities, particularly those that recognize it as an important visual representation of family law matters. Despite its unique role, the Divorce Symbol remains a lesser-known character in the expansive world of Unicode characters, reflecting the vast diversity of symbols available for digital communication and expression.
