Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑭ has the Unicode code point U+246D. 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+246D to binary:
00100100 01101101. 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 10010001 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+246D, known as the Circled Number Fourteen, is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for mathematical notation, counting, and numbering systems. It serves an important role in various scientific, technical, and engineering domains where precise and clear communication of numerical information is essential. The Circled Number Fourteen is often employed in equations, formulae, tables, and data visualizations to distinguish it from the regular numeral "14". In these contexts, the circle surrounding the digit helps avoid confusion with other characters or symbols that could be easily misinterpreted, ensuring clarity and reducing the potential for errors. While the Circled Number Fourteen may not hold cultural significance in its own right, its utility lies in its ability to provide a consistent and universally understood representation of the number fourteen within various typographic contexts across different languages and cultures.
