Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⚟ has the Unicode code point U+269F. 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+269F to binary:
00100110 10011111. 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 10011010 10011111

Description
U+269F is a Unicode character code representing the "Three Lines Converging Left" symbol (⏚). This typographical symbol is typically used in digital text to depict the convergence of three horizontal lines, often indicating a process or flow that merges into one direction. Although it does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it serves as a versatile graphic element in various applications such as diagrams, infographics, and user interface designs. The symbol is particularly useful in illustrating processes, workflows, or pathways that require the merging of three separate entities into one. Due to its simplicity and universality, U+269F has become a widely recognized and accepted representation for this concept across different digital platforms and devices, making it an important tool for visual communication in the digital age.
