Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌽ has the Unicode code point U+333D. 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+333D to binary:
00110011 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
The SQUARE POINTO character, represented by Unicode value U+333D, is a typographical element commonly employed in digital text for various purposes. In the realm of mathematics and computer programming, it often serves as a placeholder or delimiter to denote a specific position or alignment within a structure or expression. This character's utility stems from its ability to create a visually distinct boundary or reference point without occupying significant horizontal space. While the SQUARE POINTO may not be as widely recognized as some other Unicode characters, it remains an essential tool in certain technical contexts where precise positioning and clarity are crucial for accurate communication.
