Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎊ has the Unicode code point U+338A. 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+338A to binary:
00110011 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+338A, commonly known as the SQUARE PF, plays a crucial role in digital typography. It is typically used to denote an uppercase 'P' with a square frame around it, serving as a visual indicator of the character in certain typesetting or text formatting applications. The character's usage can be traced back to its origin in the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, or glyph used in digital texts. The SQUARE PF character does not carry any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, but it is widely employed by designers and typographers to ensure accurate representation of uppercase 'P' in various fonts and styles, thus contributing to the overall legibility and readability of digital text.
