Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ♇ has the Unicode code point U+2647. 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+2647 to binary:
00100110 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+2647, also known as "PLUTO," is a popular symbol in digital text, often used to represent the planet Pluto or the famous Disney dog character. This versatile emblem is widely recognized for its simple yet effective design, consisting of two concentric circles with a distinctive tail-like projection. In the realm of astronomy, U+2647 represents Pluto, the ninth and smallest planet in our solar system, which was once considered the farthest from the sun before being reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. This change sparked a shift in its symbolic representation, with the character now also referring to the Disney cartoon canine from the popular series "Mickey Mouse." In digital communication and social media, U+2647 is frequently used to evoke nostalgia for the Disney classic or simply as an adorable emblem. While it has no linguistic value, its cultural significance and recognizability make it a valuable addition to any text-based platform, enhancing engagement and expression.
