Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓜ has the Unicode code point U+24C2. 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+24C2 to binary:
00100100 11000010. 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 10010011 10000010

Description
The character U+24C2 represents the "CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M" in the Unicode Standard, a universal character encoding system. This specific glyph is commonly utilized in digital text to denote the letter 'M' within an enclosed, circular form, often for stylistic or typographical purposes. The use of such circled letters can be found in various contexts, including logo design, branding, and graphic design elements. In these applications, U+24C2 provides a distinct visual appeal that sets it apart from the standard capital letter 'M' (U+0048). The character is part of the "Spacing Modifier Letters" block in Unicode, which contains a range of characters designed to be used with other letters or symbols for specific presentational purposes.
