Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍽ has the Unicode code point U+337D. 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+337D to binary:
00110011 01111101
. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+337D represents the "SQUARE ERA NAME TAISYOU" (平正) in the Japanese writing system. This symbol is primarily used in digital text, particularly within the context of Japanese typography and digital communication. It serves a crucial role in denoting specific eras in Japanese history, often found in historical texts or documents. The character "Taisyou" is derived from two kanji characters, "Tai" (平) meaning level or even, and "Sei" (正) meaning correct or righteous. Together, they form the term "Taisyou," which indicates a time of peace, stability, or proper order in Japanese historical contexts. The SQUARE ERA NAME TAISYOU is an essential component for accurate representation of historical periods and events in digital text, facilitating clear communication and understanding within the linguistic and cultural landscape of Japan.
