Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎫ has the Unicode code point U+33AB. 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+33AB to binary:
00110011 10101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+33AB represents the SQUARE MPA (Mandala Paired), a typographical symbol used in Japanese digital text. It is a part of the Unified Kanji Code, which includes 6,057 characters used in Japanese script. In Japanese typography, the SQUARE MPA serves as an alternative representation for certain kanji characters, specifically those that have two strokes in the same vertical line and are not included in the JIS X 0213 standard. This character helps maintain consistency in appearance across various devices and platforms while preserving the original meaning of the kanji. The SQUARE MPA is crucial for accurate text rendering in digital applications, as it ensures that the intended visual representation of the kanji character is conveyed correctly to users.
