Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓜ has the Unicode code point U+24DC. 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+24DC to binary:
00100100 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+24DC, or CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER M, is a specialized typographic symbol used in digital text to represent the lowercase letter 'm' within a circular format. This particular character is primarily employed in situations where the visual representation of text is crucial, such as in logo design, typography projects, or graphic design elements. Due to its unique presentation, U+24DC allows designers and communicators to add an artistic touch to their digital content, distinguishing it from standard text formatting. While U+24DC may not serve a direct linguistic purpose in written communication, it holds importance within the realm of typography, where visual appeal and creativity are valued. This circular letter is part of the larger Unicode set called "Miscellaneous Technical" (U+2400-U+24FF), which consists of characters typically used for specific technical purposes or to convey unique visual elements in digital text. In summary, the Unicode character U+24DC, or CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER M, is a visually distinct representation of the lowercase letter 'm' used primarily in graphic design and typography projects. Its presence within the Miscellaneous Technical Unicode set highlights its specialized role in digital text formatting.
