Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓾ has the Unicode code point U+24FE. 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+24FE to binary:
00100100 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+24FE, also known as the DOUBLE CIRCLED NUMBER TEN, is a rarely used typographical symbol in digital text. It is part of the "Alphabetic Presentation Forms" category within the Unicode Standard, which provides a diverse range of characters for various scripts and symbols. The primary role of this character is to represent a numeral '10' with double circles surrounding it. However, its usage in modern digital text is minimal, as it does not serve any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical purpose. Its existence within the Unicode Standard ensures that it can be encoded and used for various purposes, but its actual application remains limited.
