Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍧ has the Unicode code point U+3367. 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+3367 to binary:
00110011 01100111
. 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 10001101 10100111

Description
U+3367 is the Unicode code point for IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR HOUR FIFTEEN, a specialized character used in digital text primarily in Chinese telegraphy systems. This symbol represents the 15th hour of the day in the traditional Chinese timekeeping system known as "shichen." The shichen system was historically utilized in China, Taiwan, and some other regions with significant Chinese-speaking populations. The IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR HOUR FIFTEEN is a crucial component of this system, allowing for precise time communication through telegraphic messages. Due to the historical and cultural significance of telegraphy in China, this symbol holds notable value and carries a unique linguistic and technical context within Chinese-speaking communities. In modern usage, U+3367 may also appear in academic discussions or historical studies focusing on traditional Chinese timekeeping systems and early communication methods.
