Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏐ has the Unicode code point U+33D0. 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+33D0 to binary:
00110011 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+33D0, known as the SQUARE LM, is a typographic symbol primarily used in digital texts for various purposes across different languages and scripts. It is a versatile character that can be found in Japanese text input methods as a substitute for the katakana characters "マ" (ma) or "ラ" (ra). In addition to its usage in written communication, the SQUARE LM also holds significance in some programming contexts as an escape character, allowing users to represent specific characters that are difficult to type directly. While it may not have a notable cultural or linguistic context, the SQUARE LM remains an essential tool for accurate and efficient digital text production and communication across diverse languages and platforms.
