Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏑ has the Unicode code point U+33D1. 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+33D1 to binary:
00110011 11010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+33D1 represents the SQUARE LN symbol (『歩』) in Japanese typography. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent the ideogram for "walk" or "go on foot" in the Japanese language. It is part of the Kanji character set, which consists of thousands of Chinese characters adopted and adapted by Japanese writers over centuries. U+33D1 is often employed in contexts such as instructions, directions, or descriptions involving walking or traveling on foot, reflecting its linguistic and cultural significance. Despite its square form, it holds a rich meaning in the world of Japanese writing and communication, contributing to the complexity and depth of the language.
