Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⓨ has the Unicode code point U+24CE. 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+24CE to binary:
00100100 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+24CE, known as the Circled Latin Capital Letter Y, is a unique character in Unicode typography that serves a specific purpose in digital text. This character represents an uppercase letter 'Y' enclosed within a circular outline. The primary usage of this character is mainly for technical and mathematical notations, where it may be used as a symbol to denote a specific variable or function. It is often employed in computer programming, engineering documents, or scientific literature. While the Circled Latin Capital Letter Y has a unique appearance, it doesn't hold any cultural significance, unlike some other Unicode characters that represent emoji or symbols from different cultures. Its technical context is what defines its role in digital text and its usage primarily depends on the specific needs of the document or publication. The character U+24CE ensures that users can clearly distinguish between a standard uppercase 'Y' and its circled counterpart, maintaining accuracy and clarity in various applications.
