Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍕ has the Unicode code point U+3355. 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+3355 to binary:
00110011 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+3355 is known as the SQUARE REMU. It plays a significant role in digital text, primarily within the context of the Japanese language and typography. This particular symbol is used to represent the "れ" sound, which is formed by the combination of the katakana characters "レ" and "ム". Its usage is predominantly found in digital text where these sounds are required for accurate transcription or translation. As a result, the SQUARE REMU has become an essential tool for language professionals, including translators and linguists, working with Japanese text. Despite being less commonly used in casual writing, its technical importance should not be underestimated as it contributes to the accuracy of written communication in Japanese.
