Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ♽ has the Unicode code point U+267D. 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+267D to binary:
00100110 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+267D, also known as the Partially-Recycled Paper Symbol, plays a significant role in digital text by representing the concept of paper that has been partially recycled or reused. Its usage is predominantly found in environmental and sustainability contexts, where it communicates the eco-friendly nature of paper products or documents. The symbol's cultural, linguistic, and technical relevance lies in its ability to visually convey information about an object's recycling history in a concise and universally understandable way. This character is particularly valuable for businesses and organizations that are committed to sustainable practices and wish to communicate their environmental efforts to customers and stakeholders.
