Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎸ has the Unicode code point U+33B8. 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+33B8 to binary:
00110011 10111000. 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:

Description
U+33B8 is a character within the Unicode Standard, specifically belonging to the category of Symbols. It represents the "SQUARE KV" symbol (Square Kvadratna), which is a mathematical sign used in algebraic notation. In digital text, this character is often employed in expressions involving quadratic forms and matrices. U+33B8's use can be traced back to the early 19th century when it was introduced by German mathematician Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi. The SQUARE KV symbol holds a significant place in mathematical literature, as it is commonly used in the expression of quadratic forms and quadratic matrices. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in the study of number theory, linear algebra, and group theory. U+33B8's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures its consistent representation across various digital platforms, facilitating seamless communication among mathematicians, educators, and students globally.
