Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓣ has the Unicode code point U+24E3. 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+24E3 to binary:
00100100 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+24E3, also known as CIRCLED LATIN SMALL LETTER T, is a unique typographical character in the Unicode standard, which represents a lowercase letter "t" enclosed within a circle. This character is often used in digital text to emphasize certain letters or words for aesthetic purposes, particularly in headings, logos, or other graphical elements where a distinct visual treatment can enhance readability or convey importance. Despite its unusual appearance, U+24E3 doesn't have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, but it has been adopted in various design and layout applications across different industries, such as advertising, branding, and graphic design.
