Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍶ has the Unicode code point U+3376. 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+3376 to binary:
00110011 01110110. 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 10001101 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+3376 represents the "SQUARE PC". It is a typographical symbol that has been specifically designed for use in digital text and electronic communication. This unique character finds its application in contexts where a square shaped representation of the acronym "PC" (Personal Computer) is required. It is widely used in tech-related fields, such as computer programming, software development, and digital design. Despite being less common than other representations like "⌐", it holds a niche significance among those who are familiar with typography and its subtleties. However, U+3376 doesn't have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context attached to it in the sense of conveying specific meaning or representing a particular culture or language. Instead, it serves as an interesting piece of digital art in text form.
