Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎄ has the Unicode code point U+3384. 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+3384 to binary:
00110011 10000100
. 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 10001110 10000100

Description
U+3384, the SQUARE KA character, is a typographical symbol with specific roles and applications within digital text. In Unicode, which is the standardized encoding system used to represent characters in most modern software applications, each character has a unique code point, including this one. The SQUARE KA character is primarily utilized for its technical function, serving as a block element or marker in certain programming contexts, where it can be employed to create or denote specific layouts and formatting within text. While the symbol does not have a direct cultural or linguistic association, its presence in digital text can influence readability and design. As an essential component of the Unicode system, U+3384 contributes to the accurate representation of characters across various languages and platforms.
