Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍳ has the Unicode code point U+3373. 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+3373 to binary:
00110011 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+3373, known as the "SQUARE AU", is a typographical symbol with limited usage in digital text. It primarily serves as a mathematical operator in certain computer algorithms, specifically representing the square root of pi (π) in certain contexts. Although it has some application in specific scientific and technical fields, its use is relatively rare compared to other mathematical symbols. The character is part of the Miscellaneous Technical Symbols block within Unicode, which consists of various specialized symbols used in specific industries or disciplines. Due to its limited role and niche usage, U+3373 is not widely recognized in mainstream linguistic or cultural contexts.
