Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑯ has the Unicode code point U+246F. 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+246F to binary:
00100100 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+246F is the Unicode character code for the Circled Number Sixteen, a typographical symbol that represents the digit '16' encircled by a circle. It is often used in digital text to signify a specific instance or occurrence of sixteen within a given context. This character can be found in various applications such as mathematics, engineering, and sports, where it may denote repetitions, iterations, or specific positions. In certain cultures and linguistic contexts, the Circled Number Sixteen holds significance, particularly in disciplines like sports (e.g., tennis sets) and mathematical notations (e.g., counting and iteration). Its usage allows for clearer communication of numerical values and quantities by differentiating it from its linear counterpart, providing a precise and visually distinct representation of the number sixteen.
