Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2E70. 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+2E70 to binary:
00101110 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2E70, also known as the CIRCLED NUMBER FIVE, is a glyph that represents the digit '5' enclosed in a circle. This character plays an important role in digital text, particularly in scenarios where it is necessary to distinguish between a plain numeral and its circular counterpart. U+2E70 often appears in mathematical expressions, scientific notation, and computer programming as a means of emphasizing the circular form of the number. In addition, this character has cultural significance in certain Asian countries, where it is used as an alternative to the standard numerals in specific contexts. For instance, it is commonly employed in Japanese and Chinese scripts for its aesthetic appeal. The CIRCLED NUMBER FIVE demonstrates versatility and adaptability across various linguistic and technical contexts, further solidifying its importance within the Unicode standard.
