Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎚ has the Unicode code point U+339A. 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+339A to binary:
00110011 10011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+339A, known as the SQUARE NM (New Matter Character), is primarily used in digital typography for representing a specific type of matter in Japanese text. It plays a crucial role in encoding information about the composition and properties of different substances within a textual context. This character is often utilized to distinguish between various types of materials, such as liquids, solids, and gases, ensuring accurate communication in scientific or technical documents. The SQUARE NM character also contributes to cultural understanding by facilitating the exchange of complex information across languages that use Unicode standardization. Its significance lies in its ability to provide a concise representation of diverse materials, which can be particularly valuable for researchers, engineers, and scientists working on projects that involve multiple disciplines and international collaboration.
