Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〢 has the Unicode code point U+3022. 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+3022 to binary:
00110000 00100010
. 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 10100010

Description
U+3022 is the Unicode code point for "HANGZHOU NUMERAL TWO," a character used primarily in digital text for numeral representation within the ancient Hangzhou numeral system, which originated in China's Zhejiang Province. This antiquated numbering system predates the modern decimal system and was prevalent during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Unlike the standard base-10 numerals widely used today, the Hangzhou numeral system is a base-6 system that employs various symbols for numeric representation. U+3022, or HANGZHOU NUMERAL TWO, is an essential component of this ancient numbering method, and its usage holds historical significance in the study of early Chinese numerals and their cultural context.
