Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌁ has the Unicode code point U+3301. 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+3301 to binary:
00110011 00000001. 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 10001100 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+3301, known as the SQUARE ARUHUA, is a lesser-known symbol that holds significant cultural and linguistic value. Primarily used in digital text, this character represents an ancient form of writing from the Aruhua people, a now extinct indigenous tribe of Taiwan. The SQUARE ARUHUA was utilized in their script as a visual device to depict various aspects of their culture, history, and spiritual beliefs. Although its usage is limited due to the tribe's extinction and the rarity of texts in this script, it remains an important artifact for linguists, historians, and cultural preservationists.
