Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓖ has the Unicode code point U+24D6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+24D6 to binary:
00100100 11010110
. 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 10010110

Description
U+24D6 is a typographical character from the Unicode standard, known as the "CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER G." This character is primarily utilized in digital text for its unique appearance, where it represents a lowercase Latin alphabet letter enclosed within a circle. The usage of U+24D6 allows for added emphasis and visual distinction when used within text, often seen in creative typography or design work. In the context of linguistic and cultural representation, this character is more of a visual device rather than a means of conveying specific language or meaning. Its primary use lies within the realm of technical applications, such as software development, web design, and graphic design, where it can be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal or indicate certain elements in code and content.
