Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍛ has the Unicode code point U+335B. 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+335B to binary:
00110011 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+335B is an Ideographic Telegraph Symbol for Hour Three, a character primarily used in digital text communication. It represents the third hour of the day, originating from its usage in traditional Chinese telegraphy systems. This system, known as "Pinyin," was developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to facilitate efficient communication over long distances using Morse code. The Ideographic Telegraph Symbol for Hour Three is part of a set of characters that correspond to specific times throughout the day. Its cultural significance lies in its historical role within these telegraph systems, and it continues to be used today as a way to represent time information in text messages and digital communication, particularly within Chinese-speaking communities.
