Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍥ has the Unicode code point U+3365. 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+3365 to binary:
00110011 01100101
. 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 10100101

Description
U+3365 is the Unicode character for "IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR HOUR THIRTEEN" (Chinese: ⵦ, Japanese: 時間十三). This symbol plays a significant role in digital text as it represents the thirteenth hour or midnight in the Chinese and Japanese telegraph systems. It is part of the larger set of IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOLS which are essential for communication in certain regions where these scripts were widely used. These symbols have cultural, linguistic, and technical significance as they were employed in the early days of long-distance communication before the era of modern digital systems, enabling faster information exchange across vast distances.
