Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㏜ has the Unicode code point U+33DC. 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+33DC to binary:
00110011 11011100. 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 10001111 10011100

Description
U+33DC is the Unicode character code for SQUARE SV (㊣), which is a typographic symbol used primarily in Japanese digital text. This character serves as an indicator of vertical lines or strokes that should be placed at right angles to each other. In a linguistic context, it may be employed in typesetting rules and guidelines for calligraphy or traditional handwriting styles, particularly in the context of Japanese writing systems. While U+33DC is not commonly used outside of these specific applications, it plays a significant role in ensuring accuracy and precision in typography and design related to vertical strokes in Japanese digital text.
