Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ♃ has the Unicode code point U+2643. 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+2643 to binary:
00100110 01000011. 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 10011001 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2643 represents Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. This symbol is commonly used in digital texts for various purposes, including astronomy, astrology, and mythology. It often appears in contexts where the celestial body is being referred to or depicted, as well as in discussions of the Roman god Jupiter, whose name derives from the Latin word "jupitor," meaning "the sky father." The character has both cultural and linguistic significance, as it represents the Roman god's symbol, a lightening bolt. It also plays a role in technical contexts, such as programming languages and emojis, where it can serve as an identifier or aesthetic element.
