Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌼ has the Unicode code point U+333C. 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+333C to binary:
00110011 00111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+333C represents the "SQUARE BEETA" symbol (ᛘ). This typographic character is primarily used in digital text for its cultural significance within Runic script, which originated in the Nordic region during the Iron Age and Viking era. Although not widely utilized in modern language or writing systems, the SQUARE BEETA holds importance as a visual representation of historical alphabetic structures. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for preservation and exploration of ancient runic inscriptions in digital formats, thus contributing to linguistic and cultural understanding.
