Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㎔ has the Unicode code point U+3394. 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+3394 to binary:
00110011 10010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+3394 is known as the "SQUARE THZ" symbol. This character primarily finds its application in digital typography and text encoding. It serves as a unique identifier for specific Japanese telegraphic abbreviation (THZ) characters, representing certain phonetic sounds or elements. In the context of Japanese telegraphy, THZ is an abbreviated form used to represent words or phrases in shorthand form, making communication faster and more efficient. U+3394 helps maintain this tradition by encoding these specific characters and their unique identifiers for use within digital text. This symbol plays a crucial role in maintaining the historical and linguistic context of Japanese telegraphy while adapting to modern digital communication needs.
