Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏨ has the Unicode code point U+33E8. 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+33E8 to binary:
00110011 11101000. 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:

Description
U+33E8 is an IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR DAY NINE, a character from the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the context of telegraph communication and numerology. This symbol serves as a visual representation for day nine in telegraphic communication, where brevity is often essential. It has its roots in Japanese culture, where it was commonly used in telegrams and coded messages to convey time-related information concisely. The use of these symbols allowed for efficient communication, particularly before the widespread adoption of modern technologies like smartphones and internet-based messaging systems. Although its usage is not as prevalent today, U+33E8 continues to hold value in specialized contexts, such as historical texts and studies on numerology or cryptography.
