Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⏻ has the Unicode code point U+23FB. 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+23FB to binary:
00100011 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+23FB, known as the POWER SYMBOL (↧), holds a significant role in digital typography. It is often employed to represent an arrowhead pointing upwards with two horizontal lines emerging from its base. This visual symbol indicates that the text or content following it should be read or interpreted as a power or exponent. While the character doesn't have any direct association with specific cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, its usage is vital in mathematical expressions and scientific equations where exponents are required to denote a value raised to a certain power. This typographical element ensures accuracy and consistency when communicating complex concepts and calculations in various digital platforms.
