Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏏ has the Unicode code point U+23CF. 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+23CF to binary:
00100011 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Eject Symbol (U+23CF) holds a significant position in the realm of digital communication and text processing. This character is particularly utilized in the context of file management systems for operating platforms. It serves as an indicator, signaling users or software programs to expel or remove an inserted or attached device from the current system. The symbol's function is not limited to physical devices but may also be employed metaphorically for digital files and data, urging their removal or disconnection from the system. Although its usage might be relatively obscure in casual communication, it plays a critical role in ensuring smooth and efficient operations within technical environments and specific applications.
