Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎈ has the Unicode code point U+3388. 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+3388 to binary:
00110011 10001000. 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 10001110 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+3388, or SQUARE CAL (壹), is a typographical representation primarily used in Chinese typography to denote the numeral "1" in its square or solid form. This character is commonly employed in digital text and documentation, particularly in applications that require the display of numerical values in a specific visual style. SQUARE CAL is rooted in traditional Chinese script, where it was historically used to represent the number one, and remains an important element in modern-day typography for preserving cultural accuracy in various media formats.
