Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓟ has the Unicode code point U+24C5. 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+24C5 to binary:
00100100 11000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+24C5, also known as the Circled Latin Capital Letter P, is a typographical character that holds significant importance in various applications of digital text. It is primarily used in mathematical expressions, scientific documents, and technical writing to represent an element or variable with distinct properties, especially when clarity and differentiation from other similar symbols are crucial. The character can be found in the Unicode Standard, which provides a consistent encoding scheme for representing characters, symbols, and emojis across multiple platforms and devices. Its unique representation sets it apart from the standard Latin Capital Letter P (U+0050), allowing for greater precision in communication within specialized fields that require clear distinctions between symbols and variables.
