Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌥ has the Unicode code point U+3325. 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+3325 to binary:
00110011 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+3325 represents the "Square Desi" (卜). In digital text, this symbol is commonly used in typography to signify the ancient Chinese divination practice called "desi," which predates the Oracle Bone Script. Square Desi is an integral part of the Yijing (I Ching) tradition and is widely used in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts related to classical Chinese texts and divination practices.
