Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏎ has the Unicode code point U+33CE. 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+33CE to binary:
00110011 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+33CE represents the "SQUARE KM CAPITAL" (ᄒ), commonly used to denote square kilometers in digital text. This symbol is particularly significant for expressing area measurements, especially when referring to geographical or urban planning contexts. As a part of the Unified Kanbun (Japanese) character set, it holds cultural and linguistic importance in East Asian languages, predominantly used in Japan. U+33CE ensures precise communication and avoids confusion with other measurement units by providing an accurate typographic representation of square kilometers. In conclusion, U+33CE serves as a vital tool in digital text for the clear expression of area measurements, especially within East Asian languages and urban planning contexts.
