Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎺ has the Unicode code point U+33BA. 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+33BA to binary:
00110011 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+33BA represents the SQUARE PW in digital text. This symbol is primarily used in Japanese typography and is part of the JIS X 0213:1997 standard, which covers additional characters for the Japanese language. In its typical usage, the SQUARE PW character serves as a replacement for the Latin alphabet's capital letter 'P'. It does not have any specific cultural or linguistic significance but is essential in maintaining consistency and correct formatting when translating documents between Japanese and other languages that use the Latin script. The SQUARE PW character ensures accurate digital text representation, avoiding potential miscommunication or confusion that could arise from using an unfamiliar symbol in a text intended for audiences accustomed to reading Latin letters.
