Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓝ has the Unicode code point U+24DD. 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+24DD to binary:
00100100 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
U+24DD is a unique character in the Unicode standard, known as CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER N. This character is typically used in digital text to represent a lowercase Latin letter "n" encircled by a circle. Its usage is primarily found within typography and design contexts, where it adds an artistic or playful touch to the text. The character might be used for creating decorative headings, as an element in font design, or for stylistic purposes in visual communication. It is important to note that U+24DD does not have any linguistic significance, as it is purely a visual representation and does not contribute to the meaning of a word or sentence in any language. In terms of cultural context, its usage might be seen in certain design fields such as graphic design, digital art, or even in children's books where playful typography is employed. Overall, U+24DD offers designers and creators an additional tool to enhance the visual appeal of their work without altering the textual content.
