Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⛽ has the Unicode code point U+26FD. 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+26FD to binary:
00100110 11111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+26FD, known as the Fuel Pump symbol, is primarily used to depict a fuel pump in digital text. It serves as a visual representation of an object commonly found at gas stations, which dispenses fuel into the tanks of vehicles. This symbol's primary function is for communication and identification purposes when discussing or describing fuel pumps in various contexts such as transportation, automotive, and environmental sectors. Although it does not have a significant cultural or linguistic impact, its use can be beneficial in contexts where visual clarity is essential, like in online forums, technical manuals, or travel guides.
