Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌑ has the Unicode code point U+3311. 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+3311 to binary:
00110011 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+3311, known as SQUARE GINII, holds a significant position within the realm of typography and digital text. This character is primarily used in Japanese typography to denote specific phonetic nuances or tones in the spoken language. Specifically, it serves as a diacritical mark, providing essential information about the pitch accent of a word or a syllable in the Japanese language. The use of SQUARE GINII is not only culturally relevant but also linguistically crucial, as it helps maintain the correct pronunciation and meaning of words within the language. In terms of technical context, SQUARE GINII belongs to the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) X 0213 character set, which is a subset of the Unicode standard. The JIS character set was developed to represent the Japanese language more accurately and efficiently than its predecessor, the JIS X 0201 standard. As such, the SQUARE GINII character plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of digital text within the context of the Japanese language. Overall, U+3311 SQUARE GINII is a vital component of the Unicode system, particularly for those working with or studying the Japanese language. Its use helps ensure accurate representation of pitch accent and pronunciation, which is crucial in maintaining linguistic clarity and cultural authenticity.
