Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏥ has the Unicode code point U+33E5. 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+33E5 to binary:
00110011 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+33E5, known as the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR DAY SIX, is a unique Unicode character primarily utilized in digital text for its specific cultural and linguistic significance in the Chinese language and telegraph systems. This character represents the sixth day of the month in traditional Chinese calendar systems and was commonly used in telegraphic communication to transmit date information efficiently. In this context, the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR DAY SIX played a critical role, saving time and resources by replacing lengthy written representations with concise symbols. Today, while its usage in modern digital text is relatively less common due to the prevalence of simplified Chinese calendar systems and digital date formats, U+33E5 still holds historical and cultural relevance as an emblem of the rich heritage of Chinese telegraphy and timekeeping methods.
