Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓦ has the Unicode code point U+24CC. 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+24CC to binary:
00100100 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+24CC represents the "CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W" in digital text. This typographic symbol is often used to distinguish uppercase letters in specific contexts, such as numbered lists or hierarchical classifications. Although it shares a similar appearance with the standard Latin capital letter 'W', its usage implies that the character is meant to be visually emphasized, potentially indicating a particular significance within the text. The CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W has no specific cultural or linguistic connotations and primarily serves a functional role in typography for clarity and distinction.
