Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌌ has the Unicode code point U+330C. 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+330C to binary:
00110011 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+330C is known as the SQUARE KARATTO. It plays a significant role in digital text, primarily in Japanese typography where it represents a specific unit of weight for precious metals such as gold and silver. Its use is essential in industries like jewelry-making, metallurgy, and finance, where accurate measurement and communication of karat values are crucial. The SQUARE KARATTO symbol stands for 24 karats, which is the purest form of gold. It's an integral part of Japanese currency values as well, used in monetary units like yen. Therefore, the SQUARE KARATTO is not only culturally significant but also carries substantial technical weight in certain industries and fields.
