Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⑬ has the Unicode code point U+246C. 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+246C to binary:
00100100 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+246C, known as CIRCLED NUMBER THIRTEEN, is a digit-like glyph often used in mathematical and statistical expressions where the use of regular numerals might be ambiguous or inappropriate. It forms part of the Unicode range for Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (1D400-1D7FF), which includes various symbols for representing numbers and operations within a circular format. Its typical usage in digital text is to denote the number thirteen in a visually distinct, round format, often used in equations, diagrams, or other mathematical contexts where clarity of presentation is crucial. While this character may not have any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context on its own, it contributes to precise and unambiguous communication in specialized fields such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
