Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍬ has the Unicode code point U+336C. 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+336C to binary:
00110011 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+336C is a specific Unicode character representing the IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR HOUR TWENTY in digital text. This symbol was designed for usage in telegraphy, specifically to indicate the hour twenty during time-related communication. While its primary application has waned with the advent of modern communication methods, it remains an important artifact of historical typography and linguistic exchange. The IDEOGRAPHIC TELEGRAPH SYMBOL FOR HOUR TWENTY is often used in the context of ciphering and cryptographic systems, where it serves as a shorthand for timekeeping purposes. As a result, its cultural significance lies in its role as a link between diverse linguistic traditions that sought to communicate efficiently through telegraphy during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
