Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌐ has the Unicode code point U+3310. 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+3310 to binary:
00110011 00010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+3310 is known as the "SQUARE GIGA." It is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for its distinctive appearance and unique cultural significance. In East Asian typography, particularly in Japanese writing systems such as Hiragana, this character serves an essential role in creating visual emphasis or representing certain phonetic nuances within the text. The SQUARE GIGA is often employed to convey a sense of power, importance, or grandiosity, which makes it popular in various digital media, including social networks, messaging platforms, and online forums. However, its usage can vary depending on the cultural context and regional preferences. Despite not being a part of the standard Latin alphabet or widely used in other languages, the SQUARE GIGA remains an important symbol within the realm of typography, reflecting the richness and diversity of global communication systems.
