Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏋ has the Unicode code point U+23CB. 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+23CB to binary:
00100011 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+23CB, known as the Dentistry Symbol Light Vertical and Top Left, primarily serves a specialized purpose within the field of dentistry. In digital text, this symbol represents an illustration of a vertical tooth with a light at its top left corner. Its application is predominantly seen in dental literature and software programs designed for dental professionals to aid in the visualization and documentation of teeth and their respective conditions. Although it has a specific role within the dental industry, the Dentistry Symbol Light Vertical and Top Left does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or broader technical contexts outside of its specialized use case.
