Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍋ has the Unicode code point U+334B. 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+334B to binary:
00110011 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+334B, also known as the SQUARE MEGA, holds a significant position in digital typography. It is primarily utilized in Japanese text and serves as a crucial component for encoding ideograms in the Shift JIS (Shifted JIS) encoding scheme. This encoding system, originally developed for Japanese computer systems, has been widely used in modern computing devices and web browsers for displaying and processing Japanese characters. SQUARE MEGA is often employed to represent the "mega" concept in various fields such as information technology, electronics, and marketing, where it is employed to indicate a large scale or magnitude. Despite its relatively niche usage, the SQUARE MEGA plays an essential role in ensuring accurate text representation and preserving cultural context within digital communications.
