Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇃ has the Unicode code point U+31C3. 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+31C3 to binary:
00110001 11000011. 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 10000111 10000011

Description
U+31C3 is a rare and specific character in the Unicode standard known as CJK STROKE BXG. It primarily serves as a typographic component within the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language groups. Its role is to be used as a stroke in forming characters or as an individual graphical element, often employed in digital text to create artistic or decorative effects. The character is part of Unicode's CJK Strokes block, which includes various elements that are essential for constructing traditional characters by hand or digitally. U+31C3 does not hold a specific meaning on its own; instead, it represents a particular stroke style and can be combined with other strokes to form complete characters in these languages. While it may not have a direct cultural or linguistic context, it plays an important role in preserving the art of traditional calligraphy and handwriting styles within CJK scripts.
