Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏣ has the Unicode code point U+23E3. 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+23E3 to binary:
00100011 11100011. 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 10001111 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+23E3, known as the Benzene Ring with Circle, holds significant importance within the realm of chemistry, particularly in digital text representations. This symbol is used to illustrate a benzene ring, which consists of six carbon atoms arranged in a closed hexagonal pattern, and is a fundamental structure in organic chemistry. The circle encircling the benzene ring denotes a specific configuration or state, such as the presence of a substituent or resonance structure, thus enabling chemists to convey complex ideas more accurately and efficiently. While it may not have direct linguistic or cultural applications, the Benzene Ring with Circle character serves as an essential tool for scientists, researchers, and students within the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering, facilitating effective communication and understanding of intricate molecular structures.
