Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character 〲 has the Unicode code point U+3032. 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+3032 to binary:
00110000 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+3032 is a Unicode character that represents the VERTICAL KANA REPEAT WITH VOICED SOUND MARK in digital text. This particular character plays a crucial role in Japanese typography, specifically in the field of vertical writing systems. It is used to denote a repeating pattern or sequence within the Vertical Katakana script, marking voiced sounds in the process. The usage of this character is primarily limited to Japanese language contexts and digital text formatting in such environments. This Unicode symbol provides a way for writers to express the nuances of spoken Japanese more accurately in written form, contributing to the richness and expressiveness of the language. It helps to maintain cultural authenticity and fidelity when dealing with transcribed speech or text-to-speech conversions. In terms of technical context, U+3032 is a member of the Vertical Katakana block of characters, which encompasses all the characters used in vertical script writing within the Japanese language. The character's existence highlights the importance Unicode places on preserving cultural and linguistic nuances across different scripts and languages.
