Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎎ has the Unicode code point U+338E. 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+338E to binary:
00110011 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+338E, also known as the SQUARE MG, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for its role in representing musical pitches within certain cultures. It is predominantly utilized in Japanese music notation systems such as the standard notation method Yin Yang Qi, where it denotes the specific pitch class or interval in a scale. In this context, the SQUARE MG symbol serves an important function in accurately conveying musical information and facilitating communication among musicians and composers. While its usage is primarily limited to Japanese music notation, it demonstrates the versatility of Unicode characters in representing various cultural, linguistic, and technical aspects across different regions worldwide.
