Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓑ has the Unicode code point U+24B7. 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+24B7 to binary:
00100100 10110111. 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 10010010 10110111

Description
U+24B7 (CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B) is a typographic character commonly used in digital text. This symbol serves as an uppercase variant of the letter "B" enclosed within a circle. Its primary role is to represent letters or numbers in a circular form, often utilized in various applications like math notation, coding, or typography for stylistic purposes. In certain mathematical contexts, U+24B7 can be used to denote the set of real numbers or a variable representing an unspecified real number. It is also used in computer programming and data representation, such as in ASCII art or when encoding characters in the ISO/IEC 10646 standard. The CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B is a versatile character that contributes to the richness and diversity of digital text, offering a visually appealing alternative to its non-circled counterpart.
