Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㄤ has the Unicode code point U+3124. 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+3124 to binary:
00110001 00100100. 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 10000100 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+3124, BOPOMOFO LETTER ANG, is a specialized alphabetic symbol primarily employed in the Bopomofo system for transcribing Mandarin Chinese phonetically. Developed in the early 20th century, Bopomofo serves as an auxiliary writing system to facilitate pronunciation and language learning. The character U+3124 represents the initial consonant "ng" sound, a crucial component for accurate phonetic transcription. In digital text environments, its usage is predominantly confined to linguistic research, language teaching materials, and software designed for Mandarin Chinese learners or non-native speakers.
