Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌊ has the Unicode code point U+330A. 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+330A to binary:
00110011 00001010. 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 10001100 10001010

Description
The SQUARE OOMU character (U+330A) holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography and Unicode. This symbol is primarily utilized to represent the 'Oomu' Japanese onomatopoeic character for the sound of a computer or typewriter typing, specifically the clicking sound made by the keyboard keys. In digital text, its usage often denotes a specific auditory effect in written communication, particularly within narratives and manga where sounds are represented visually. The SQUARE OOMU character contributes to the cultural expression of Japanese language, enhancing immersive reading experiences by simulating the actual typing or clicking sound audibly heard when using digital devices. It is an integral part of typography that helps create a vivid and interactive representation of sounds in various contexts.
