Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㇣ has the Unicode code point U+31E3. 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+31E3 to binary:
00110001 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+31E3, CJK STROKE Q, is a typographical element primarily used in digital text to indicate a stroke, which serves as a horizontal ruling line for writing or alignment in traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) scripts. This character does not represent any specific phonetic or semantic meaning, but rather acts as a formatting tool within these scripts. In certain CJK texts, the use of U+31E3 CJK STROKE Q can also help maintain uniformity and readability in complex passages with mixed styles or fonts. The character is predominantly used in professional writing, typography, and design contexts where precise formatting and alignment are crucial for accurate communication.
