Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏢ has the Unicode code point U+33E2. 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+33E2 to binary:
00110011 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+33E2, known as the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR DAY THREE, is an essential element in digital text communication, particularly within Japanese telegraph systems. This symbol has been widely used for centuries, serving a crucial role in conveying precise information regarding the time elapsed or remaining. Its significance extends beyond linguistic barriers, as it is employed in various contexts, such as coding messages during military operations and emergency services. Due to its technical nature and limited cultural usage outside of Japan, this character remains relatively obscure among non-specialists. However, it plays a vital role in preserving the accuracy and efficiency of digital text exchanges, particularly in time-critical scenarios.
