Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏾ has the Unicode code point U+23FE. 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+23FE to binary:
00100011 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+23FE, known as the POWER SLEEP SYMBOL, is a specialized typographical element primarily used in digital text to represent a power nap or short period of sleep. It is typically employed within the context of discussions related to energy conservation, sleep efficiency, and productivity enhancement strategies. The symbol's cultural significance is limited; however, its usage can be observed in certain health-related forums and wellness blogs as an illustrative tool to convey brief rest periods for optimal energy management. In a technical context, this character might appear in coding languages or design tools where visual representation of concepts like power naps or short breaks is necessary. Overall, U+23FE serves a specific function within the vast spectrum of Unicode characters and offers a concise way to depict power sleep or rest periods within digital text.
