Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌏ has the Unicode code point U+330F. 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+330F to binary:
00110011 00001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+330F, known as SQUARE GANMA, is a typographical symbol primarily used in the Japanese language. It serves an important role in digital text by representing the kanji for "駆," which means to drive or urge on, in a non-displayable form. In traditional print media, it would be replaced by its corresponding kanji character during the typesetting process. The SQUARE GANMA character is particularly significant within the context of digital text and typesetting, where it helps to ensure consistency and accuracy when using kanji characters in electronic documents and websites. Its presence allows for seamless integration with other characters and symbols, enabling a more cohesive and professional final product.
