Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌅ has the Unicode code point U+3305. 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+3305 to binary:
00110011 00000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+3305, known as the SQUARE INTI, is a symbol used predominantly in Japanese typography. This unique character serves a crucial role in digital text, specifically in the context of the Japanese language. It is primarily employed within mathematical and scientific notations to denote a unit or an entity that cannot be divided further. The SQUARE INTI is significant in its ability to provide a clear visual representation of indivisibility and wholeness, which is essential in the accurate communication of complex ideas and concepts. Due to its specific use case within Japanese typography, it has not gained widespread recognition or usage outside this linguistic context. Despite its niche application, the SQUARE INTI remains an important tool for precise and effective digital text representation in the realm of Japanese mathematics and science.
