Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎶ has the Unicode code point U+33B6. 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+33B6 to binary:
00110011 10110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+33B6 represents the SQUARE MU V symbol (ꞥ). It is primarily utilized in digital text to denote the voiced bilabial fricative sound, which is a type of speech sound produced when both lips vibrate while the air flows through them. While this specific character may not be as widely used as other symbols, it serves an essential role in phonetic transcription, particularly within linguistics and foreign language studies. The SQUARE MU V symbol holds importance in cultural contexts where accurate pronunciation is crucial for communication. In technical terms, the Unicode standard ensures that U+33B6 appears consistently across different platforms, maintaining its unique identity and readability across devices and applications.
