Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎕ has the Unicode code point U+3395. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3395 to binary:
00110011 10010101
. 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 10010101
SQUARE MU L·U+3395

Description
The Unicode character U+3395 is known as the "SQUARE MU L" and has a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Japanese language. It is classified under the category of Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, where it represents a square-shaped variation of the hiragana character "ム". This character, when used in writing, signifies the sound 'mu' or 'm'. The SQUARE MU L holds an important cultural and linguistic context, as it enables native speakers and learners to accurately read and write in Japanese. It is also essential for various technical applications such as text encoding, data communication, and software development where a specific character set is required for precise expression of the Japanese language.
