Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏁ has the Unicode code point U+33C1. 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+33C1 to binary:
00110011 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+33C1, also known as the SQUARE M OHM, is a specialized symbol used primarily in digital text for electrical engineering and electronics. It represents the Ohm symbol (Ω), which is square in this particular representation. This typographic variation allows for differentiation from the standard rounded Ohm symbol when required by design or aesthetics. The SQUARE M OHM does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its application in engineering and scientific fields, where it serves as a clear and concise visual representation of the unit of electrical resistance.
