Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ♅ has the Unicode code point U+2645. 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+2645 to binary:
00100110 01000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2645 represents the planet Uranus, one of the eight planets in our solar system. In digital text, this symbol is often used for its literal meaning, to denote or refer to the planet. It's commonly seen in astrology-related texts, astronomy discussions, and scientific documents about outer space. While not a widely used character in everyday language, it has its significance in specific fields of study and application. In terms of technical context, U+2645 is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block in Unicode. It was added to Unicode in version 1.0 in 1991, indicating its long-standing use in digital text. Despite its scientific nature, it doesn't have a specific linguistic context as it represents a singular entity rather than part of a language system.
