Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏦ has the Unicode code point U+33E6. 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+33E6 to binary:
00110011 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+33E6 is the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR DAY SEVEN, a symbol primarily used in digital text to represent the seventh day of a week. This character has its origins in traditional Chinese telegraphy and is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) set of Unicode characters. In this context, it plays an important role in maintaining historical accuracy and authenticity when transmitting messages in digital form. Though the usage of IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOLS has been largely replaced by numeric representations in modern communication, these symbols continue to be valued by linguists, historians, and telegraph enthusiasts for their unique aesthetic and historical significance.
