Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏒ has the Unicode code point U+33D2. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+33D2 to binary:
00110011 11010010
. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+33D2, known as the Square Log, holds significant importance in digital typography. It is predominantly used to represent a mathematical symbol of a square with an "L" shape, often found within computer-generated equations and algorithms. Its primary role lies in representing logical operations, particularly in programming and computer science contexts. The character's usage can be traced back to its initial introduction in the 2014 version of the Unicode Standard. It holds a vital place in mathematical notation, facilitating clear expression of complex concepts and equations. In addition, its use is not limited by language or script, making it a universal symbol in digital text.
