Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〣 has the Unicode code point U+3023. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+3023 to binary:
00110000 00100011
. 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 10100011

Description
U+3023 is the Unicode character code for "Hangzhou Numeral Three". It is commonly used in digital text as a numerical representation within the Hangzhou numeral system, which is an ancient Chinese numeral system originating from the city of Hangzhou. This numeral system is distinct from other Chinese numerals such as the traditional Chinese characters for numbers or the more widely-used Arabic numerals in contemporary use. The Hangzhou numeral system consists of 10 unique symbols, including U+3023 (Hangzhou Numeral Three), which visually resembles a horizontal line with an upward-pointing stroke at the left end. While not as widely used today as other numerals, U+3023 remains significant for scholars and historians interested in ancient Chinese culture, providing insights into mathematical practices and cultural expressions from a bygone era.
