Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌪ has the Unicode code point U+332A. 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+332A to binary:
00110011 00101010
. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+332A, known as the SQUARE HAITU (卂), is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideogram that has various uses in digital text. Primarily used in East Asian cultures, it represents the numerical value "10,000" in ancient Chinese numerals and holds significance in both linguistic and cultural contexts. The SQUARE HAITU is often employed in historical texts, literature, and calligraphy as a symbol of antiquity and tradition. Due to its unique shape and historical associations, the character has become popular in modern typography and design for artistic purposes. In digital text, the SQUARE HAITU is used to convey meaning, represent cultural heritage, and add visual appeal, especially when discussing or illustrating Chinese history and culture.
