Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎞ has the Unicode code point U+339E. 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+339E to binary:
00110011 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+339E represents the SQUARE KILOMETER (㎞) symbol. This typographical element is primarily used in digital text to denote a unit of length measurement equivalent to 1,000 meters or approximately 0.621371 miles. The SQUARE KILOMETER symbol finds its application predominantly in scientific, technical, and engineering contexts, as well as in geographic information systems (GIS) and mapping software. It is a crucial component for accurate measurement and communication of distances in various fields such as urban planning, transportation, environmental studies, and travel industries. Despite its relatively niche usage, the SQUARE KILOMETER symbol plays an essential role in providing precise and standardized information across different languages and cultures that employ the metric system.
