Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓽ has the Unicode code point U+24FD. 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+24FD to binary:
00100100 11111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+24FD, known as the DOUBLE CIRCLED DIGIT NINE, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematical expressions, engineering notations, and scientific data representations. This typographical element distinguishes itself by appearing as a stylized numeral '9' enclosed within a double circle, offering an easily identifiable visual cue to users reading the material. While the character is primarily used for its numerical value, it can also be employed in scenarios that require emphasis on accuracy and precision, such as in technical manuals or academic literature. Despite not having any specific cultural, linguistic, or regional associations, U+24FD serves a vital function in enhancing the clarity and comprehension of complex digital text across various industries and disciplines worldwide.
