Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〥 has the Unicode code point U+3025. 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+3025 to binary:
00110000 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+3025, known as the Hangzhou Numeral Five, holds a unique position in typography and digital text. It is part of the Hangzhou numerals system, which originated from Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang province in China. This ancient system was developed during the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and consists of 10 symbols, each representing a digit from zero to nine. In digital text applications, U+3025 is often used to render Hangzhou numerals on screens, in books, or other media that require the use of this traditional numeral system. The Hangzhou numerals represent an important aspect of Chinese cultural heritage and linguistic tradition, as they were widely employed during the Qing Dynasty. Although not as widespread as the modern Arabic numeral system, U+3025 plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the history of numeral systems, offering a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture. As interest in historical typography and traditional scripts grows, the use of Hangzhou Numeral Five and other characters within this unique numeral system becomes increasingly significant for digital text applications seeking to enrich their content with cultural depth and linguistic diversity.
