Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏍ has the Unicode code point U+33CD. 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+33CD to binary:
00110011 11001101. 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 10001111 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+33CD represents the "SQUARE KK" symbol (□KK). This typographical element is primarily used in digital text for graphical purposes, such as in emoji or symbol-based designs, rather than for conveying linguistic meaning. Although the SQUARE KK may appear visually similar to other square symbols, its unique Unicode value distinguishes it from other graphical elements. The character is often employed to add a sense of playfulness or whimsy in digital communication and design, and does not hold any specific cultural or linguistic significance.
