Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎣ has the Unicode code point U+33A3. 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+33A3 to binary:
00110011 10100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+33A3, known as the SQUARE MM CUBED, holds a unique position in digital typography. It is primarily used to represent a mathematical concept within text, particularly in fields like computer science and engineering, where precise communication of complex ideas is essential. This character can be employed to indicate the cube of the number 1000 (10^3), making it an invaluable tool for concise expression of numerical relationships in digital contexts. Its usage in text is typically confined to mathematical and technical domains, but its clear visual representation ensures that the idea of "million cubed" is immediately understandable. Although this character might not be as ubiquitous or well-known as other Unicode symbols, it serves a vital role in specific areas of digital communication, offering a concise way to express complex mathematical concepts.
