Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓗ has the Unicode code point U+24BD. 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+24BD to binary:
00100100 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+24BD is a typographical character in the Unicode standard that represents the uppercase Latin letter H within a circle, known as "Circled Latin Capital Letter H." Its primary usage lies in digital text where it serves to distinguish characters or symbols within technical documents and applications. In linguistic terms, this character has no specific cultural significance but is often used to denote an action, such as capitalization, in coding languages like HTML or programming scripts. The usage of the circled letter H can be seen in various mathematical notations, where it may indicate a change of state or operation within a particular sequence. It's also commonly found in cryptography and digital encryption systems for denoting specific operations or shifts in code.
