Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〺 has the Unicode code point U+303A. 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+303A to binary:
00110000 00111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+303A represents the Hangzhou numeral thirty (Hz30), a unique numerical system used predominantly in the Zhejiang province of China. This digit is part of the Hangzhou numerals, an ancient and traditional counting system that predates the more widely-known Arabic numerals. The Hangzhou numeral system was developed over 1,000 years ago and has been employed in various cultural contexts such as historical texts, literature, and artworks. Although it is not commonly used in modern digital text, the Hz30 character holds significant value for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient Chinese culture and typography.
