Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌴ has the Unicode code point U+3334. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3334 to binary:
00110011 00110100
. 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 10110100
SQUARE BUSSYERU·U+3334

Description
The Unicode character U+3334, also known as SQUARE BUSSYERU, is a lesser-known symbol primarily used in digital text for typographical purposes. While it does not have any widely recognized cultural, linguistic, or technical significance, its presence in the Unicode standard reflects the comprehensive nature of this encoding system. The SQUARE BUSSYERU character is part of a group of non-standard characters included in the Unicode range reserved for private use and personal use. These characters allow users to create custom symbols for specific applications or to reserve space for future expansion of the Unicode standard. As such, its typical usage in digital text is mostly limited to these specialized contexts, where it may serve as a placeholder or be employed in unique typographical designs.
