Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㆻ has the Unicode code point U+31BB. 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+31BB to binary:
00110001 10111011. 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:
11100011 10000110 10111011

Description
U+31BB is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents the Bopomofo final letter 'G'. It holds significance in the realm of digital text as it is commonly used within the Zhuang language, which is one of China's 56 officially recognized ethnic minority languages. The Bopomofo script was developed in the early 20th century to phonetically represent the tones and sounds of Chinese dialects, including Zhuang. In this context, U+31BB helps provide accuracy and consistency when transcribing and translating texts, particularly those that involve Zhuang's tonal variations. This Unicode character plays a vital role in preserving linguistic heritage while facilitating communication between different cultures and languages.
