Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓡ has the Unicode code point U+24E1. 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+24E1 to binary:
00100100 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+24E1, known as CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER R, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the realm of mathematics and computer science. This symbol represents a lowercase Latin letter 'r' enclosed within a circle, often used to denote an element or variable that is circular in nature. It is frequently employed in mathematical formulas and equations to represent rotation, circular motion, or any concept requiring a cyclical or recurring process. Despite its limited usage in everyday communication, the CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER R has a vital role in specialized fields like geometry, trigonometry, and computational mathematics. Due to its unique visual presentation and specific applications, this character can contribute to a better understanding of complex concepts by providing an easily identifiable symbol for rotational processes or circular movements.
