Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓞ has the Unicode code point U+24C4. 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+24C4 to binary:
00100100 11000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+24C4 is known as the "CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O." It belongs to the Private Use Area block of the Unicode Standard, a widely adopted encoding system for representing characters from diverse languages and symbols. Typically used in digital text, this character serves as an alternative representation of the uppercase letter 'O'. Although it does not have a specific cultural or linguistic context, U+24C4 can be utilized in applications requiring distinct typographic styles or as part of an artistic expression. Due to its classification under Private Use Area, its use is primarily determined by the conventions established by software developers and content creators who choose to incorporate it into their projects.
