Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ☍ has the Unicode code point U+260D. 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+260D to binary:
00100110 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+260D, known as OPPOSITION, is a symbol often used in digital text for representing opposition or disagreement. It is particularly popular in political discussions, debates, and arguments where opposing viewpoints are presented. Though this character is not specific to any language, it often appears in texts written in English. In its technical context, the OPPOSITION symbol can be combined with other characters to express more complex ideas or feelings, such as 'agree to disagree' or 'on the one hand, on the other hand'. However, due to the limited usage of this character, there are no major cultural, linguistic, or historical associations. Overall, the OPPOSITION symbol serves a specific purpose in digital communication and contributes to a more expressive typographic landscape.
