Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ☵ has the Unicode code point U+2635. 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+2635 to binary:
00100110 00110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2635 represents the Trigram for Water (水), which holds significant cultural and symbolic importance in Chinese culture. In digital text, this symbol is often used to convey the concept of water or fluidity, and it's commonly found in designs, logos, and typography. The trigram forms part of the larger system of the I Ching, an ancient Chinese divination text that uses these symbols as a basis for understanding the natural world and making decisions. In technical contexts, U+2635 is part of the Unicode Standard, which enables consistent encoding and display across various platforms and devices, facilitating global communication and collaboration.
