Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏮ has the Unicode code point U+33EE. 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+33EE to binary:
00110011 11101110. 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 10001111 10101110

Description
The character U+33EE represents the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR DAY FIFTEEN in Unicode, a widely adopted system for encoding characters from virtually all world scripts, including Chinese characters, which are based on logographic principles. In digital text, this symbol serves as a shorthand reference for the fifteenth day of a month or other time periods, primarily within the context of Japanese telegraphy. Historically, it was utilized in telegraph messaging to convey the date more concisely than spelling out the entire date in characters. Although its usage has significantly diminished with the advent of modern communication technologies, this symbol continues to hold cultural significance as a remnant of early information transmission methods.
