Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓙ has the Unicode code point U+24D9. 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+24D9 to binary:
00100100 11011001
. 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 10011001

Description
U+24D9, also known as CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER J, is a typographic character within the Unicode standard (U+2420 to U+245F). It serves an essential role in digital text by enabling the use of uppercase and lowercase circle-styled Latin letters. The symbol represents a smaller version of the uppercase letter 'J', encased in a circular shape, and is often used for stylistic purposes or to enhance readability in specific contexts such as technical documents, mathematical notation, or computer programming. Although not commonly found in everyday language use, it plays a vital role in various specialized fields like linguistics, typography, and software development. The character is also significant in the realm of digital communication, allowing for customizable, visually appealing representations of text that adhere to specific design requirements.
