Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E63. 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+2E63 to binary:
00101110 01100011. 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:
11100010 10111001 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E63 is a symbol with the Unicode name "COMBINING ENCLOSING KEYCAP 🅳". This character is part of the "Combining Diacritical Marks" block in the Unicode Standard. Typically used in digital text, it serves as a modifier that combines with other characters to form a new glyph. In certain typefaces and systems, the COMBINING ENCLOSING KEYCAP can be applied to specific keys on a keyboard, usually those with alphabetic characters, to create a visually unique appearance for the key or character when displayed in user interfaces or digital documents. While this character does not have any notable cultural or linguistic context, it is an important technical element within the realm of typography and user interface design.
