Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏟ has the Unicode code point U+33DF. 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+33DF to binary:
00110011 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+33DF, known as the "SQUARE A OVER M," is a specialized mathematical symbol used primarily in digital text for its specific function within mathematical equations and formulas. In typography, this character serves to represent an operation called "modulo," which is fundamental in number theory and computer science. The modulo operation calculates the remainder of a division between two numbers and is denoted as 'A ÷ M'. U+33DF's usage can be traced back to its appearance in several mathematical notations, particularly those utilized in programming languages like Python or C++. Though this character doesn't have a direct cultural or linguistic significance, it plays an important role in the world of mathematics and computing, contributing to the accuracy and clarity of technical documents and discussions.
