Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌕ has the Unicode code point U+3315. 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+3315 to binary:
00110011 00010101. 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 10010101

Description
The character U+3315, known as SQUARE KIROGURAMU, is a symbol primarily used in the Japanese script. It plays an essential role in digital text, specifically within the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character, emoji, and ideograph. This particular character represents a square-shaped version of the kana letter "ヲ" (kurogurumu), which is one of the 46 basic phonetic units in the Japanese writing system, called hiragana. U+3315 SQUARE KIROGURAMU is used to denote a square shape and is commonly found in text, graphics, or typography for its aesthetic value or to symbolize various concepts depending on the context. It is widely used by designers, developers, and graphic artists who seek an alternative representation of the kana character "ヲ" for artistic purposes or for contrasting with other characters in a design. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+3315 ensures smooth and consistent encoding of digital text across various platforms and applications, contributing to the overall accuracy and effectiveness of global communication.
