Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓔ has the Unicode code point U+24BA. 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+24BA to binary:
00100100 10111010
. 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 10111010

Description
U+24BA, also known as CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E, is a Unicode character that represents the uppercase letter 'E' encircled. This character plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly in typography and design. It is often used to denote a specific category, section, or emphasis within written content. The use of U+24BA can be traced back to its origins in ancient Roman times, where the circled letter was employed to signify importance or priority. In modern usage, it has become a popular choice for various applications such as website design, document formatting, and educational materials. U+24BA is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block (U+2400-U+24FF) in Unicode, ensuring its continued relevance and usefulness within digital text formats and systems.
