Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓢ has the Unicode code point U+24E2. 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+24E2 to binary:
00100100 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+24E2, also known as CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER S, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text. This character is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique number for every character, symbol or emoji across all platforms and devices. Typically used in mathematical expressions, it serves as an alternative representation of the lowercase letter 's'. However, it's crucial to note that its usage extends beyond mathematics, often appearing in digital text where the user may wish to employ a more decorative or distinctive presentation of the letter. Although this character does not have any particular cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of these uses, it provides an additional tool for typography and design in digital communication.
