Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⚢ has the Unicode code point U+26A2. 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+26A2 to binary:
00100110 10100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+26A2, known as the Doubled Female Sign, is a typographic symbol that represents the combination of two female gender symbols (♀). It is primarily used in digital text to emphasize or underscore the presence of female characters or elements in various contexts, such as literature, science fiction, and gaming. While the use of U+26A2 may have some cultural and linguistic significance in certain instances, it predominantly serves a technical function within text formatting and character encoding systems. It is important to note that the Doubled Female Sign is not commonly found in everyday language use but rather appears in specific contexts where its unique representation is desired or meaningful.
