Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⓲ has the Unicode code point U+24F2. 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+24F2 to binary:
00100100 11110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+24F2 represents the Negative Circled Number Eighteen (Ñ⃛) in digital text. This character is typically used within a mathematical or statistical context to denote negative eighteen, often employed in situations where the sign of a number must be clearly indicated. In typography, the Circled Number Series, of which U+24F2 is part, helps to distinguish numerical values from other symbols and improves readability. These characters are valuable for their ability to convey information concisely and accurately within technical documents, coding languages, and scientific notations. Despite being a relatively obscure character in general digital text usage, the Negative Circled Number Eighteen plays a crucial role in specific applications requiring precise numerical representations with clear negative indicators.
