Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〨 has the Unicode code point U+3028. 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+3028 to binary:
00110000 00101000. 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 10000000 10101000

Description
U+3028 is a character from the Hangzhou numeral system, which predates the decimal system used today. The Hangzhou numerals were commonly employed in ancient Chinese texts for mathematical calculations, particularly in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD). Each numeral is represented by a unique pictogram, with U+3028 representing the number eight. Although these numerals are largely obsolete in modern digital text, they continue to hold cultural significance as a representation of ancient Chinese mathematics and history.
