Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏺ has the Unicode code point U+33FA. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+33FA to binary:
00110011 11111010
. 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 10111010

Description
U+33FA is an ideographic telegraph symbol representing the number 27. It is a character from the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, which contains characters used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. This specific symbol plays an important role in digital text communication, especially in countries where the Chinese language is predominantly used. The character is often employed in telegraph messages, telegrams, and other forms of short-form communication, as it serves to convey the number 27 concisely and efficiently. While not widely recognized outside of these regions, U+33FA holds cultural significance within the context of telecommunication and numerical representation in Chinese-speaking communities.
