Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓼ has the Unicode code point U+24FC. 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+24FC to binary:
00100100 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+24FC is known as the "DOUBLE CIRCLED DIGIT EIGHT". This character is primarily used in digital text for mathematical expressions and scientific notations where it represents the number eight in a double circled style. Its unique design makes it useful in situations where clear differentiation between digits is important, such as in handwriting recognition systems or coding documentation to prevent misinterpretation of numeric values. Despite its relatively niche usage compared to other common numerical characters, the DOUBLE CIRCLED DIGIT EIGHT still plays a significant role in specific technical and mathematical contexts, where it helps maintain accuracy and precision within digital text.
