Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍖ has the Unicode code point U+3356. 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+3356 to binary:
00110011 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+3356 represents the "SQUARE RENTOGEN" symbol (㊥). This typographic entity is primarily used in digital text for its distinctive visual appearance, which consists of a hollow square enclosing a stylized gamma radiation symbol. The SQUARE RENTOGEN is often employed to denote radioactive materials or locations with high levels of ionizing radiation. Due to its unique shape and association with nuclear energy, the character has become a popular choice for science fiction and fantasy writers when describing dangerous substances or settings within their narratives. Although not widely used in everyday communication, the SQUARE RENTOGEN serves as an important symbol in certain technical, scientific, and creative contexts.
