Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍇ has the Unicode code point U+3347. 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+3347 to binary:
00110011 01000111. 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 10001101 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+3347, known as the SQUARE MANSYON, is a specialized symbol primarily used in Japanese digital typography. Its primary function is to denote the yōkan (用鑓) or "manzyon" character in the context of traditional Japanese writing systems. The manzyon is a unique graphical element that plays an essential role in kanbun (漢文), or Chinese characters, used in the rendering of classical Chinese texts within the Japanese language. Although its usage may be considered less common in modern digital text, the SQUARE MANSYON retains significance as a crucial tool for preserving and studying historical Japanese literature and documents.
