Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1CC8. 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+1CC8 to binary:
00011100 11001000. 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:
11100001 10110011 10001000

Description
U+1CC8 is a Unicode character representing the character "✂" in digital text. This particular symbol, known as the Scissors-Shaped Symbol, is commonly used to represent a pair of scissors or the action of cutting in various typographical contexts. It can be found in technical documentation, where it may signify an operation that involves cutting or dividing elements, or in graphic design and typography, to illustrate cutting or separation. While not as widely recognized as more common symbols like the checkmark (U+2714) or the heart (U+2665), the Scissors-Shaped Symbol still plays an essential role in digital communication by providing a clear visual representation of its intended meaning.
