Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎨ has the Unicode code point U+33A8. 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+33A8 to binary:
00110011 10101000. 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 10001110 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+33A8, also known as the SQUARE M OVER S SQUARED, is a rarely used symbol in digital text. It serves a specific role within mathematical typography, representing a square root of a square root operation. In certain contexts, it may be used to denote a specific mathematical concept or property. However, its usage is limited due to the presence of more commonly used mathematical symbols and the fact that this character can be easily confused with other symbols in digital text. Despite its limited application, U+33A8 holds an important place in typography and mathematics as it provides a clear representation of a specific operation within these fields.
